Unfortunately, while AJAX incorporates the best§capabilities of both thick-client and thin-client§architectures, it is vulnerable to the same attacks§that affect both types of applications. Thick-client§applications are insecure because they could be§decompiled and analyzed by an attacker. The same§problem exists with AJAX applications - in fact even§more so, because in most cases the attacker does not§even need to go to the effort of decompiling the§program. Knowing the attack surface and the§architectural weakness of a chosen AJAX framework§lays the foundation for a software architect to§design and develop secure and enterprise-ready AJAX§web applications. This paper does not only discuss§general vulnerabilities of AJAX-based web§applications, but reflects these in a real-world§example showing the attack surface for applications§built with state-of-the-art AJAX frameworks like§JBoss Seam and Google Web Toolkit. The findings of§this paper help software architects and developers to§get a practical understanding of potential attacks.§They are a contribution to increase the security of§web applications.
