- Conduct regular security audits and code reviews focusing on input handling and sanitization.
- Educate users and administrators about phishing and social engineering risks, as exploitation requires user interaction.
- Monitor application logs and user activity for unusual behavior indicative of XSS exploitation attempts.
- Restrict administrative privileges to minimize the risk of malicious input injection.
- Consider implementing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to reduce the impact of potential XSS attacks.
- Backup CRM data regularly to enable recovery in case of compromise.
