Third-party scripts are scripts loaded from external domains, such as analytics services, ad networks, or embedded widgets. While they enhance functionality and user experience, they also introduce risk because site owners have limited control over their codebase and updates. Compromise of a third-party provider can cascade to every site that loads the provider's script, potentially enabling attackers to steal data or inject malicious payloads. Monitoring dependencies, applying Subresource Integrity (SRI) checks, and periodically reviewing trusted sources are essential steps for maintaining robust client-side security with third-party code.
