Risks of 3rd Party Content
Recently came across this fantastic presentation by Tom Stripling from the webappsec mailing list on the Dangers of 3rd Party Content. If you happen to be involved in any web development, or web content management or providing security/risk feedback to people who implement this stuff this presentation is a must-read.
Some of the key points I got from this presentation:
- The different risk implications depending on the use of iframe or inline 3rd party content
- The motives for a malicious attacker wanting to deface or compromise your website VS The motives for a malicious attacker wanting to deface or compromise a 3rd party who provides content to numerous websites
- How mature are your due diligence processes?
- “Would you ever allow anyone to deploy any kind of HTML/Javascript/whatever to your production applications without checking it first?”
