OUR FEATURES
Like any web application, AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML)) applications are vulnerable to various security threats. Here are some of the most common vulnerabilities in AJAX applications:
JSON Hijacking is an attack that targets the data exchange between a web server and a client-side web application. Attackers can intercept and manipulate the transmitted data to steal sensitive information or inject malicious code.
XSS attacks involve injecting malicious scripts into a web page, which can then execute on the client-side and steal data or execute unauthorized actions on the server.
The attacker can modify the web page content to deceive the user or manipulate form data to perform unauthorized actions within the web application, such as transferring funds or changing user settings.
Session Hijacking is an attack that enables an attacker to take control of a user’s session. This can be done by stealing the user’s session ID or intercepting the data transmitted between the web server and the client-side web application.
AJAX can make web applications vulnerable to various injection attacks, including SQL injection and command injection, which can allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server.
AJAX can sometimes expose sensitive information to the client-side code, which can be exploited by attackers.
Securing AJAX Attacks
Codesealer provides a unique product CONNECT that uses an end-to-end security strategy to secure JavaScript before it leads to devastating attacks. It utilizes advanced encryption to secure HTTP traffic, prevent DOM changes, encrypt URLS and much more.
If something suspicious is spotted, the application backend is immediately notified, allowing near real-time reaction from the application to the possible fraud attempt.
XSS attacks involve injecting malicious scripts into a web page, which can then execute on the client-side and steal data or execute unauthorized actions on the server.
Clickjacking is a type of attack that tricks users into clicking a button or link they did not intend to. In an Ajax application, attackers can use clickjacking to perform actions on the web page, such as making a purchase or changing a password, without the user’s knowledge or consent
Session Hijacking is an attack that enables an attacker to take control of a user’s session. This can be done by stealing the user’s session ID or intercepting the data transmitted between the web server and the client-side web application.
AJAX can make web applications vulnerable to various injection attacks, including SQL injection and command injection, which can allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server.
AJAX can sometimes expose sensitive information to the client-side code, which can be exploited by attackers.
