Client-side template injection (CSTI) is a type of injection attack that occurs when user-supplied data is injected into a web template in a client-side context. This type of attack is particularly dangerous as it allows an attacker to inject malicious code into a web page that is then executed by...
Client-side XPath injection (DOM-based) is a type of security vulnerability which is classified under Client Side Vulnerabilities as per the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE), and occurs in web and API applications. This is a type of injection attack where an attacker injects malicious XPath statements into a client's web page,...
Cookie manipulation (DOM-based) is a type of web application security vulnerability classified as a Client Side Vulnerability. This vulnerability occurs when web applications fail to properly validate the integrity of cookies, resulting in the ability to execute malicious code. According to the [Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) directory, this vulnerability is...
Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) is a vulnerability that occurs when a malicious website is allowed to access resources in a different domain. It is classified as a client-side vulnerability because it is the client's browser that is responsible for controlling access to resources. CORS is classified as CWE-918 in the...
A _Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)_ policy controls whether and how content running on other domains can interact with the domain that publishes the policy. The policy is granular and can apply per-request access controls based on the URL and other characteristics of the request.
## Risk
The common exploitation scenarios can be...
Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) is a browser mechanism which enables controlled access to resources located outside of a given domain. It extends and adds flexibility to the same-origin policy (SOP). It also provides potential for cross-domain based attacks, if a website's CORS policy is poorly configured and implemented. CORS is...
A _Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)_ policy controls whether and how content running on other domains can interact with the domain that publishes the policy. The policy is granular and can apply per-request access controls based on the URL and other characteristics of the request.
## Risk

Insecure data process in DOM, also known as CWE-20, is a vulnerability that exists in web and API applications where user input data is processed and stored without proper validation or protection. This type of vulnerability can lead to a variety of security issues, such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), SQL...
JavaScript injection (DOM-based) is a type of Client Side Vulnerability (CWE-79) which allows attackers to inject malicious JavaScript code into a web application. This code is executed by the user’s browser and can be used to manipulate the web application. The OWASP Testing Guide describes JavaScript Injection as “a form...
Local file path manipulation (DOM-based) is a type of client-side vulnerability in web applications and APIs that allows an attacker to inject malicious code into a vulnerable web application. This vulnerability is classified in the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) directory as CWE-79, and is also listed in the OWASP Testing...
Stored Cross Site Scripting (XSS) is a type of Client-Side Vulnerability and is listed as one of the top 25 most dangerous software errors in the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) directory.
