Abstract
A system and method for protecting a user against a cross-site scripting attack or other network attack that relies on scripting code embedded within a uniform resource locator (URL) are described. Validation software executing on a client computer system may intercept a URL in response to a user providing the URL to a web browser or other client application. The validation software may analyze the URL to determine whether the URL includes scripting code. If the URL includes scripting code then the validation software may block the client application from accessing the URL or may otherwise inhibit access to the URL.
