Ajax Scripts

This video will showcase vulnerabilities within the SMS application of the WebOS mobile platform released by Palm for their next generation devices (Palm Pre and Pixi). In WebOS, Palm wanted to design a platform what was very easy to develop on, and feature a revolutionary UI design that would hopefully make users abandon the competition. Apparently, Palm designers were also smitten by a very popular web application design technology, AJAX. Leveraging these two ideals, Palm designed their WebOS operating system to act as a web browser. Mobile WebOS applications are built very similar to how a website would be created for a standard web browser. Thus, the new design allows web developers to quickly build and deploy applications for WebOS. However, this also now introduced common web application vulnerabilities to the mobile application space. intrepidusgroup.com
