IE, JSON, and the script tag

Read Original

The article details a security flaw in Internet Explorer where JSON data containing a `<script>` tag within a string value is improperly parsed. IE can execute the JavaScript inside the tag, even though it's part of a JSON string, creating a serious cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. The post explains the issue using a code example and discusses the implications for web application security.
