Veracode recently launched a free cross-site scripting (XSS) detection service.

"According to the company, the free XSS detection service removes perceived complexity from the detection process, and with access to proper education and training developers can avoid introducing the flaws into software in the first place," SC Magazine reports.

"Users sign up for the service, submit one Java application for free of charge and the platform will search for XSS errors and produce a detailed report with location and remediation information," the article states. "Participants will also receive complimentary access to Veracode's dedicated XSS eLearning courses."
