Privacy



 “ ”
 You have no privacy.
 Get over it.

    Scott McNealy

Privacy



 “
 Nothing that we have
 authorized conflicts with any
 law regarding privacy or any


                             ”
 provision of the constitution.

     John Ashcroft

Privacy



 “
 Relying on the
 government to protect
 your privacy is like asking
 a peeping tom to install


                     ”
 your window blinds.

     John Perry Barlow




                               OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Privacy

Ajax has client side state

Local storage
Caching
Mash ups




                              OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Privacy ... not

Javascript is clear text
   often cached regardless of browser settings

                                   OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Mash ups

Who owns the data?
Who gets the data?
How are they going to handle it?




                              OWASP AppSec Europe 2006

Authentication

Don’t let any old caller in

What’s okay without authentication?

Authenticate new XMLHttpRequest sessions




                               OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Ask...

Authorization




    Would you let Bart call
    your admin function?




                              OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Authorization

Use same authorization methods



Default deny; all actions should be denied unless
 allowed

Error responses for no authorization




                               OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Sessions and State Management2006
                    OWASP AppSec Europe
Session Fixation

Use toolkits which send session tokens

Use proper session management to maintain the
 session

OWASP Guide - Session Management chapter




                              OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Cross-domain XML Http Requests

By security design, no browser supports this

Many designs want to do this
  or already do this (Google Maps, etc)


How to do it safely?
  Only with federated security




                                  OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
State management

In the good olde days, state was on the server
With Ajax, a lot more state is on the client
Think “hidden fields” but so much worse




                               OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Sending state

Validate all state before use

Sending state to the client for display

   DOM injections
   HTML injections


Only send changed state back



                                 OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Exposing internal state

Just because it’s faster doesn’t mean it’s wiser
Keep sensitive state on the server, always
Don’t obfuscate JavaScript - it’s hard enough now




                               OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Ajax Attack Prevention Europe 2006
                OWASP AppSec
Injection Attacks

PHP toolkits: look for code injection attacks
JSON injection: be careful how you decode!
DOM injection - client side attacks now much
 easier
XML injection - both client and server side
Code injection - both client and server side




                               OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Data validation

Data from XMLHttpRequest must be validated

Perform validation after authorization checks
Validate using same paths as existing code

If you (de-)serialize, be aware of XML injection




                                OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Ajax APIs




            OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Reconstructing Ajax API

 Many Ajax apps have
 been “decoded”

   e.g. libgmail, GMail Agent API,
   gmail.py, etc
   Spawned GMailFS, Win32 Gmail
   clients, etc


 Do not assume your app
 is special - it will be
 decoded!

                                        GMail Agent API in action

                                     OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
GET APIs




           OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Pseudo API Injection

Almost all Ajax toolkits use GET by default
   Force them to use POST


Most PHP AJAX tool kits allow remote code
 injection by allowing client-side server code
 invocation

eg: AJason, JPSpan and CPAINT (1.x)



                                OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Psuedo API

Guess what I can do?

Create proxy façades




                        OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Event Management




            OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Error Handling
Error handling is
 often neglected
                      Parentless window syndrome
Do not use
 Javascript alert()




                           OWASP AppSec Europe 2006
Auditing

Client-side auditing is a joke

Auditing must be:
   comprehensive
   unavoidable
   tamper resistant
