HTML5 is redefining the ground rules for future Web Applications by providing a rich set of
new features and by extending existing features and APIs. HTML5 Security is still an
unexplored region because HTML5 features are not yet adopted by web applications (apart
from experimental support) and it is assumed that until that happens the end users have
nothing to worry about.
This paper would prove this assumption wrong by discussing a range of attacks that can be
carried out on web users ‘right now’ even on websites that do not support or intend to
support HTML5 in the near future. Browser vendors have been trying to outdo each other in
supporting the latest features defined in the HTML5 spec. This has exposed the users of
these browsers to the attacks that would be discussed in this paper.
The initial sections of this paper cover attacks and research that have been published by me
and other researchers earlier this year. The latter sections covers attacks that are completely
new and exclusive.
