Cybersecurity is one of the pillars of the growth of the digital industry, Industry Revolution 4.0. The network universe has several forms of cyber threats. Web application is the most essential and standard software system allowing human and computer communication. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks are a prevalent cybersecurity threat. This paper contains the brief emergence of Cross-Site Scripting Attacks (XSS), the key trigger and effects of Cross-Site Scripting Attacks (XSS), the existing Cross-Site Scripting Detection and Prevention Mechanism (XSS), and the analysis of current frameworks. Therefore, the current Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) detection and prevention mechanism would address how to identify the XSS and an overview of the static, dynamic and hybrid research approach utilized in these few decades. Also, the latest methods used to diagnose XSS in these decades will be addressed. The analysis of the benefits and drawbacks of the previously mentioned methods would also be addressed.
