Configuring the Web Application Filter
Web Application Filter is a security feature that protects the WAAS Central Manager GUI against
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. XSS security issues can occur when an application sends data that
originates from a user to a web browser without first validating or encoding the content, which can allow
malicious scripting to be executed in the client browser, potentially compromising database integrity.
This security feature verifies that all application parameters sent from WAAS users are validated and/or
encoded before populating any HTML pages.
