JavaScript Hijacking Vulnerability in jQuery by jQuery Foundation
CVE-2007-2379
Currently unrated
Summary
The jQuery framework allows the exchange of data using JSON without adequate protection mechanisms. This vulnerability enables remote attackers to exploit web pages that load JSON data through the SRC attribute of a SCRIPT element. By doing so, they can capture sensitive data using their own JavaScript code, effectively performing a JavaScript Hijacking attack. This weakness emphasizes the need for robust security measures within web applications to prevent unauthorized data access.
