The Hands-On, Practical Guide to Preventing Ajax-Related Security
Vulnerabilities

More and more Web sites are being rewritten as Ajax applications; even
traditional desktop software is rapidly moving to the Web via Ajax. But,
all too often, this transition is being made with reckless disregard for
security. If Ajax applications aren't designed and coded properly, they
can be susceptible to far more dangerous security vulnerabilities than
conventional Web or desktop software. Ajax developers desperately need
guidance on securing their applications: knowledge that's been virtually
impossible to find, until now.
Ajax Security systematically debunks today's most dangerous
myths about Ajax security, illustrating key points with detailed case
studies of actual exploited Ajax vulnerabilities, ranging from MySpace's
Samy worm to MacWorld's conference code validator. Even more important,
it delivers specific, up-to-the-minute recommendations for securing Ajax
applications in each major Web programming language and environment,
including .NET, Java, PHP, and even Ruby on Rails. You'll learn how to:

? Mitigate unique risks associated with Ajax, including overly
granular Web services, application control flow tampering, and
manipulation of program logic
? Write new Ajax code more safely�and identify and fix flaws in
existing code
? Prevent emerging Ajax-specific attacks, including JavaScript
hijacking and persistent storage theft
? Avoid attacks based on XSS and SQL Injection�including a
dangerous SQL Injection variant that can extract an entire backend
database with just two requests
? Leverage security built into Ajax frameworks like Prototype,
Dojo, and ASP.NET AJAX Extensions�and recognize what you still must
implement on your own
? Create more secure �mashup?applications

Ajax Security will be an indispensable resource for developers coding or
maintaining Ajax applications; architects and development managers
planning or designing new Ajax software, and all software security
professionals, from QA specialists to penetration testers.
