摘要:Web applications are important, common distributed systems whose current security relies primarily on server-side mechanisms. Web applications provide end users with client access to server functionality through a set of Web pages. These pages often contain script code to be executed dynamically within the client Web browser. Most Web applications aim to enforce simple, intuitive security policies, such as, for Web-based email, disallowing any scripts in untrusted email messages. Even so, Web applications are currently subject to a plethora of successful attacks, such as cross-site scripting, cookie theft, session riding, browser hijacking, and the recent self-propagating worms in Web-based email and social networking sites . This paper looks at five common Web application vulnerabilities, their examples and countermeasures to eliminate common security exploits and to secure the emerging class of rich, cross-domain Web applications
