The next exercise for the XXS exploit modal is stored XXS
via AJAX. Ajax is a
client-side script that communicates to and from a server/database without the
need for a postback or a complete page refresh. Ajax allows a web programmer to
transfer data without needing to refresh an entire page. Google Maps, YouTube,
and Facebook all use Ajax. Gruyere uses ajax to send post information to the
view using this code: _feed(( { "private_snippet": ""
,"cheddar": "Gruyere is the cheesiest application on the
web." ,"brie": "Brie is the queen of the cheeses!!!" } )). Not having a lot of experience with
AJAX or its syntax it was hard for me to formulate different posts to get
stored XXS. Even after checking the first and second hints. The final result
makes sense, but without knowing the syntax of AJAX it would be difficult to exploit.
I will continue to look over the basics of Ajax before starting on the next exercise
of reflected XXS using AJAX.
