Kingdom: Encapsulation
Encapsulation is about drawing strong boundaries. In a web browser that might mean ensuring that your mobile code cannot be abused by other mobile code. On the server it might mean differentiation between validated data and unvalidated data, between one user's data and another's, or between data users are allowed to see and data that they are not.
Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking
Abstract
Server fails to verify request origin effectively accepting cross-domain requests which can be used by an attacker to hijack a bidirectional WebSocket connection.
Explanation
Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking occurs when a user is tricked into visiting a malicious site that will establish a WebSocket connection with a legitimate backend server. The initial HTTP request used to ask the server for upgrading to WebSocket protocol is a regular HTTP request and so, the browser will send any cookies bound to the target domain including any session cookies. If the server fails to verify the
Origin
header, it will allow any malicious site to impersonate the user and establish a bidirectional WebSocket connection without the user even noticing.References
