Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) XSS Auditor is a system that detects reflected XSS attacks in the client side. While it enhances resistance against reflected XSS, it also causes other types of security vulnerability, such as Universal XSS or information leak, because of false positives that structurally cannot be avoided. This article proposes a system that detects reflected XSS with almost no false positives. It is achieved by the server application to track the flow of data which is sent from the client and feed back the result to the client. The experiment shows that the proposed method is able to detect reflected XSS attacks at the same accuracy as the existing system without false positives.
