Is this JavaScript safe?
JavaScript certainly can be dangerous, but only when users aren't cautious. Hackers can use it to automatically steal your data without you ever being aware of it. Since JavaScript is so widespread and useful, this can leave you vulnerable to attacks.
Can JavaScript code be malicious?
A JavaScript injection attack is a type of attack in which a threat actor injects malicious code directly into the client-side JavasScript. This allows the threat actor to manipulate the website or web application and collect sensitive data, such as personally identifiable information (PII) or payment information.
What are the risks of JavaScript?
The most common JavaScript vulnerabilities include Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), malicious code, Man-in-the-middle attack and exploiting vulnerabilities in the source code of web applications. These can be prevented by scanning your code for vulnerabilities during development and educating your developers about security.
