Web applications are useful for various online\udservices. These web applications are becoming\udubiquitous in our daily lives. They are used for multiple\udpurposes such as e-commerce, financial services, emails,\udhealthcare services and many other captious services. But\udthe presence of vulnerabilities in the web application may\udbecome a serious cause for the security of the web\udapplication. A web application may contain different\udtypes of vulnerabilities. Cross-site scripting is one of the\udtype of code injection attacks. According to OWASP\udTOP 10 vulnerability report, Cross-site Scripting (XSS) is\udamong top 5 vulnerabilities. So this research work aims\udto implement an effective solution for the prevention of\udcross- site scripting vulnerabilities. In this paper, we\udimplemented a novel client-side XSS sanitizer that\udprevents web applications from XSS attacks. Our\udsanitizer is able to detect cross-site scripting\udvulnerabilities at the client-side. It strengthens web\udbrowser, because modern web browser do not provide\udany specific notification, alert or indication of security\udholes or vulnerabilities and their presence in the web\udapplication
