"Last time we saw how to fix a cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
This time we look at how we can detect cross site scripting
vulnerabilities using automated tools. Being the most common
vulnerability found in web applications, it is very important to detect
and mitigate XSS vulnerabilities early in development cycle. Arming
developers with the right tools to develop application security is a
big problem in every enterprise. Here at Microsoft, we have developed a
static analysis tool specifically aimed at developers to detect cross
site scripting. It was released a while ago as Microsoft XSSDetect. "
