To log security events safely, record the event type, sanitized payload, and location while strictly preventing sensitive information or full malicious payloads from entering the audit trail.

Creating an audit trail involves categorizing security events such as binary detections and sanitization actions, tracking their frequencies, and logging specific details like input size and timestamp for compliance reviews.

Anomaly detection in security event tracking works by monitoring the frequency of logged events and automatically alerting when unusual patterns or spikes in security incidents occur.

Yes, you can log every instance of a detected XSS attack, including the sanitized payload and its location, to effectively identify and mitigate ongoing threats within your application.

No external dependencies are required to implement security event logging, as the mechanism independently handles event categorization, frequency tracking, and anomaly alerts without external libraries.

A strict limitation is that you cannot log full malicious payloads or sensitive data; the system enforces data protection by only recording sanitized details to prevent exposing vulnerabilities.
