Enforcing egress filtering and verifying destinations prevents unauthorized requests from being forwarded to sensitive resources. This helps block traffic that tries to exploit a service by relaying it to internal assets. Simply hiding error messages or disabling inbound traffic does not address outbound paths. Focusing on cross-site scripting checks alone will not protect resources that are targeted through this technique, which relies on forwarding access instead of injection.
