Dmytro Tomilovskiy from Cigital will talk about second-order XSS with AJAX. Introduction will include a quick overview AJAX, how it works, where it is used and a list of new security concerns that arise from usage of AJAX. He will then talk about one problem from that list – persistent XSS. He will have a few possible scenarios (different architectures) and what remediation strategies are suitable for each scenario.

Our next meeting will be on 10 May at 6pm. This meeting will be held at Booz Allen.
