Cross-site cooking is a type of browser exploit which allows a site to set a cookie for a into the cookie domain of another site .Cross-site cooking can be used to perform session fixation attacks, as a malicious site can fixate the session identifier cookie of another site. Other attack scenarios may also be possible, for example: may know of a security vulnerability in , which is exploitable using a cookie. But if this security vulnerability requires e.g. an administrator password which does not know, cross-site cooking could be used to fool innocent users to unintentionally perform the attack.Cross site. Cross-site cooking is similar in concept to cross-site scripting, cross-site request forgery, cross-site tracing, cross-zone scripting etc., in that it involves the ability to move data or code between different web sites (or in some cases, between e-mail / instant messages and sites). These problems are linked to the fact that a web browser is a shared platform for different information / applications / sites. Only logical security boundaries maintained by browsers ensures that one site cannot corrupt or steal data from another. However a browser exploit such as cross-site cooking can be used to move things across the logical security boundaries. == Origins == The name cross-site cooking and concept was presented by Michał Zalewski in 2006.〔(Browsers face triple threat(Techworld.com) )〕 The name is a mix of "cookie" and "cross-site", attempting to describe the nature of cookies being set across sites. In Michał Zalewski's article of 2006, (Benjamin Franz ) was credited for his discovery, who in May 1998 reported a cookie domain related vulnerability to vendors. Benjamin Franz published the vulnerability and discussed it mainly as a way to circumvent "privacy protection" mechanisms in popular browsers. Michał Zalewski concluded that the bug, 8 years later, was still present (unresolved) in some browsers and could be exploited for cross-site cooking. Various remarks such as ''"vendors () certainly are not in a hurry to fix this"'' were made by Zalewski and others. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cross-site cooking」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
