Browser security is the application of Internet security to web browsers in order to protect networked data and computer systems from breaches of privacy or malware.
Description
Security exploits of browsers often use JavaScript: sometimes with cross-site scripting (XSS), sometimes with a secondary payload using Adobe Flash.
Security exploits can also take advantage of vulnerabilities (security holes) that are commonly exploited in all browsers.
