Web 2.0 is latest "in-thing" in the IT community and is capturing lot of mindshare. While enterprises are exposing their business functionalities as loosely coupled reusable "service" using SOA, RIA technologies like Ajax can consume these services and expose them to the end user in an interactive and intuitive manner. However, as with any new technology transition, web 2.0 has brought in new security concerns. In the recent past a number of security breaches has been reported; most notable among them are Yamaner worm on Yahoo mail and Samy worm on MySpace.com. The root cause of most of these attacks is the increased usage and reliance on JavaScript in Ajax based RIA implementation.
Most common among the attacks are cross-site scripting, sql-injection, XML poisoning, RSS/Atom injection. In this article, author Shreeraj Shah has detailed some of these web 2.0 security attacks.
