You’re currently reading “Hold Your Horses on AJAX,” one of the entries in the Bright Launch collection of articles and resources.
Via IT Hub: “AJAX technology is rapidly being adopted by online businesses to help boost the interactivity of their Web sites, but a long list of potential vulnerabilities introduced by inexperienced programmers could create a troubling security landscape for Web 2.0 technologies.
AJAX is an extension to the JavaScript programming language that is used to improve the responsiveness of Web sites by automating the exchange of information between browsing software and sites’ back-end Web servers.
For instance, the technology can allow a Webmail site to automatically download messages into a user’s inbox without requiring the individual to refresh their browser screen. Well-known sites such as Google Maps, Yahoo and MySpace already employ AJAX tools in a number of ways.
Whereas the data used in more traditional Web applications exists largely on back-end servers, AJAX extends programs across both the client device and the server, creating far more opportunities for hackers to deliver malware onto sites.”
