Kingdom: Input Validation and Representation
Input validation and representation problems ares caused by metacharacters, alternate encodings and numeric representations. Security problems result from trusting input. The issues include: "Buffer Overflows," "Cross-Site Scripting" attacks, "SQL Injection," and many others.
Unsafe JSNI
Abstract
Improper use of the JavaScript Native Interface (JSNI) can render GWT applications vulnerable to security flaws in JavaScript.
Explanation
Unsafe JSNI errors occur when a GWT application uses JSNI to call javascript code.
Example 1: The following Java code defines a class named
In this example, passing untrusted data to the JSNI function may result in a DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting.
Example 1: The following Java code defines a class named
Redirect. The class declares one native JavaScript method, which uses JavaScript to change the document location.
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.UIObject;
class MyDiv {
...
public static void changeName(final UIObject object, final String name) {
changeName(object.getElement(), url);
}
public static native void changeName(final Element e, final String name) /*-{
$wnd.jQuery(e).html(name);
}-*/;
...
}
In this example, passing untrusted data to the JSNI function may result in a DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting.
