The server responds with the requested data in the form of a script file, which contains an invocation of the callback, with the data in the JSON format as the argument. This not only effectively enables cross-origin communication but also introduces a severe security vulnerability, where any content can be injected into the site. In response to this dangerous practice, the XMLHttpRequest Level 2 specification [23] makes cross-origin communication explicitly possible by implementing the Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) specification [21].

One example is a Web attacker that registers an available domain with a valid certificate for the domain. By using his capabilities to perform these legitimate actions within the Web platform, the attacker has now constructed a phishing setup, where he will trick unsuspecting users into entering their credentials into a fraudulent authentication form.

Naturally, the exact set of capabilities an attacker possesses depends on his position in the Web ecosystem.
