The article describes the investigation process of the possibilities of XSS–attacks, and the development of counteraction means to these attacks. Researches were determined whether XSS–attack can be fulfilled successfully, and vulnerability detection methods can be applied; were developed the logical and structural diagrams of XSS–vulnerability detection program; were realized program implementation (software) of algorithms for detecting XSS–vulnerabilities on the Web – sites. The software implementation is Web extension for the Google Chrome browser. Main purpose of implementing this software is to confirm or deny the presence of XSS–vulnerabilities on the site, and to counteract the possible attack.
