This paper presents a field study on Web security vulnerabilities from the programming language type system perspective. Security patches reported for a set of 11 widely used Web applications written in strongly typed languages (Java, C#, VB.NET) were analyzed in order to understand the fault types that are responsible for the vulnerabilities observed (SQL injection and XSS). The results are analyzed...
Web sites that incorporate untrusted content may use browser- or language-based methods to keep such content from maliciously altering pages, stealing sensitive information, or causing other harm. We study language-based methods for filtering and rewriting JavaScript code, using Yahoo! ADSafe and Facebook FBJS as motivating examples. We explain the core problems by describing previously unknown vulnerabilities...
Timeout mechanisms are a useful feature for web applications. However, these mechanisms need to be used with care because, if used as-is, they are vulnerable to timing attacks. This paper focuses on internal timing attacks, a particularly dangerous class of timing attacks, where the attacker needs no access to a clock. In the context of client-side web application security, we present JavaScript-based...
