👉 The HTML Weapon, often referred to as the "HTML Bomb," is a malicious script designed to exploit vulnerabilities in HTML parsers, specifically targeting older versions of Internet Explorer (IE). It works by injecting malicious code into web pages that are rendered by these outdated browsers, which may not properly sanitize or escape user input, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript or manipulate the DOM (Document Object Model) in ways that can compromise user data, steal information, or take control of the browser. This type of attack is particularly dangerous because it leverages the trust users place in web content, making it a potent tool for cybercriminals to infiltrate systems and carry out malicious activities.
