Using Web Application Construction Frameworks to Protect Against Code Injection Attacks

Overview This paper proposes a simple to support, yet a powerful scheme for eliminating a wide range of script injection vulnerabilities in applications built on top of popular Ajax development frameworks such as the Dojo Toolkit, prototype.js, and AJAX.NET. Unlike other client-side runtime enforcement proposals, the approach it is advocating requires only minor browser modifications. This is because the proposal can be viewed as a natural finer-grained extension of the same-origin policy for JavaScript already supported by the majority of mainstream browsers, in which it treat individual user interface widgets as belonging to separate domains.
