Test ID
WSTG-CONF-08
Test Name
Test RIA Cross Domain Policy
Status
Note: This test case has been deprecated by OWASP as Flash and Silverlight technologies are no longer widely used. However, legacy applications may still use these technologies.
High-Level Description
Rich Internet Application (RIA) cross-domain policy files control how Flash and Silverlight applications can access resources across different domains. Misconfigured policy files can allow unauthorized cross-domain access, leading to data theft and other security issues. While these technologies are largely obsolete, legacy applications may still require this testing.
