Abstract: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) is one of the most popular attacks targeting web applications. Using XSS attackers can obtain sensitive information or obtain unauthorized privileges. This motivates building a system that can recognise a malicious script when the attacker attempts to store it on a server, preventing the XSS attack. This work uses machine learning to power such a system. The system is based on a combination of classifiers, using cascading to build a two phase classifier and the stacking ensemble technique to improve accuracy. The system is evaluated and shown to achieve high accuracy and high detection rate on a large real world dataset.
