    This has truly been a lifesaver. My college professor told us to research this for a paper and gave us no source material whatsoever. Everywhere I look, the explanations are so technically written that it goes right over my head with my limited knowledge. (Usually, if I have to look up 3 terms before I finish the first paragraph, I'm out)
    Thank you SOOOOOO much for describing this in detail without weighing it down with an excess of unnecessary jargon and high-level concepts.

    Corrections on the same origin policy. You can "write" or "send" regardless of origin but the browser will hold onto any response that is coming from an untrusted origin.
    This is the reason CSRF is not prevented by SOP.
    This isn't hate mail btw, I love your videos and you helped me a ton in the past.
    P.S. glad to see you're back!

      *Edit:* I had some second thoughts. You are actually correct in that you can't edit or overwrite the DOM of other pages using JavaScript from your page. If that's what you meant by saying "write" I don't know if SOP is the technology that is preventing that though. Because I don't see how you'd target DOM elements for editing using XHR. Is it just a JavaScript limitation or is SOP stepping in? Hmm...

    • @PwnFunction
      @PwnFunction  4 года назад

      @@Hope-kf1nl As far as I'm aware, SOP checks are performed before performing any kinda cross origin actions which include making network requests or accessing document of a different origin.

    • @Hope-kf1nl
      @Hope-kf1nl 4 года назад

      @@PwnFunction Yes, it is a browser-based protection. I know that it will prevent requests that must be preflighted, limiting all requests to a GET/POST. SOP is a firewall and will check any requests that are not "simple"
      For example, JSON with Padding was a hack developers used to get around SOP before CORS was adopted. We used to send over JSON containing JS functions within a callback. Then developers would insert that callback into a set of tags.
      SOP wasn't preventing that type of write / send because the requests were still considered simple because the JavaScript was inside the GET parameters and not part of the HTTP Body. So the MIME wasn't getting preflighted.

      @@Hope-kf1nl Sure thing, not all kinds of "reads" violates the policy - web.dev/same-origin-policy/#what-is-permitted-and-what-is-blocked . But I guess it just boils down to a policy, affecting cross origin actions.

  • @SikoSoft
    @SikoSoft 2 года назад

    In my view, the biggest fundamental flaw of the same origin policy is the fact that it is purely a client side implementation.
    Case and point: fork Chrome, turn the flag off you have a CORS-less browser. Why you'd want that when it would be a detriment to your own good is another question. But you can do it. You don't even need to change the code. As far as I know, there still exists a flag you can pass when launching Chrome (and other browsers) to turn it off.
    And now we have "Local Overrides" in Chrome's dev tools. This is a wonderful tool that has helped me debug a number of issues in production, but it also is a wonderful asset to performing XSS attacks on sites you shouldn't have authority over.
    It's also possible to manipulate the perception of who you're communicating with by modifying your local hosts file. Add break points to another site's scripts, pause execution at important points, retarget your domain to a local server you're serving assets from, revert hosts file, resume execution as desired.
    I'm sure there's a number of brighter people than me here who have even better examples of how easy it is to circumvent the minimal protection that is there, so it leaves me wondering why we have an entire ecosystem of technology built around such shaky ground.
    It seems to me that we should have implemented better security mechanisms for these sort of things in the actual protocol level. In the same way in which we introduced websockets by "upgrading" connections, it feels like more should be done in this area to mitigate the weak protection client-side CORS policies provide.
