Subverting Ajax

Overview The ability of modern browsers to use asynchronous requests introduces a new type of attack vectors. In particular, an attacker can inject client side code to totally subvert the communication flow between client and server.

This paper will focus on security aspects of Ajax technology and on their influence upon privacy issues. Ajax is not only a group of features for web developers: it's a new paradigm that allows leveraging the most refined client side attacks.
