An example of a DOM-based XSS vulnerability is the bug found in 2011 in a number of jQuery plugins. [16] Prevention strategies for DOM-based XSS attacks include very similar measures to traditional XSS prevention strategies but implemented in JavaScript code and contained in web pages (i.e. input validation and escaping). [17]
A return-oriented programming attack is superior to the other attack types discussed, both in expressive power and in resistance to defensive measures. None of the counter-exploitation techniques mentioned above, including removing potentially dangerous functions from shared libraries altogether, are effective against a return-oriented ...
Filtering out unexpected GET requests still prevents some particular attacks, such as cross-site attacks using malicious image URLs or link addresses and cross-site information leakage through <script> elements (JavaScript hijacking); it also prevents (non-security-related) problems with aggressive web crawlers and link prefetching.
Vulnerabilities in applications and services (e.g. web server software such as NGINX or content management system applications such as WordPress); [7] [8] File processing and uploading vulnerabilities, which can be mitigated by e.g. limiting the file types that can be uploaded; [8] Remote file inclusion (RFI) and local file inclusion (LFI ...
WordPress (WP, or WordPress.org) is a web content management system.It was originally created as a tool to publish blogs but has evolved to support publishing other web content, including more traditional websites, mailing lists, Internet forums, media galleries, membership sites, learning management systems, and online stores.
The Nessus Attack Scripting Language, usually referred to as NASL, is a scripting language that is used by vulnerability scanners like Nessus and OpenVAS. With NASL specific attacks can be automated, based on known vulnerabilities. Tens of thousands of plugins have been written in NASL for Nessus and OpenVAS. [1]
The same-origin policy applies only to scripts. This means that resources such as images, CSS, and dynamically loaded scripts can be accessed across origins via the corresponding HTML tags (with fonts being a notable exception). Attacks take advantage of the fact that the same origin policy does not apply to HTML tags.
Here, the code under attack is the code that is trying to check the parameter, the very code that might have been trying to validate the parameter to defend against an attack. [20] Any function that can be used to compose and run a shell command is a potential vehicle for launching a shell injection attack.
