RE: [WEB SECURITY] Interview With Jeremiah Grossman on ClickJacking attack



Hi Sebastian,

Token based protection in conjunction with framebusting might just work.

Thanks for the interview!

In the article you write:
"Does this break protections for flaws such as Cross-Site Request Forgery?
Yes. Clickjacking has the potential of breaking CSRF token-based
protections."

It is clear to me that token-based protections were never "academically
strong", but they were efficient in terms of cost-benefit for CSRF
protection.

If token-based protections may be busted soon, what protections should
now be used in today's productive Web applications to prevent CSRF
vulnerabilities?

Regards,
Sebastian
