242 Hacking Exposed Web 2.0
SUMMARY
Flash can be used to attack any web application by reflecting cross-domain security
policies. Attackers can also take advantage of improper input validation in Flash applications
to mount XSS attacks on the domain hosting the vulnerable SWF. Automatically
generated SWFs can be created with vulnerable code that could lead to widespread,
universal XSS attacks. Finally, Flash can be used to circumvent firewalls with DNS
rebinding attacks.
