Exam PT0-002 topic 1 question 250 discussion

In the context of web development, especially when dealing with AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) requests, the crossDomain: true parameter is often associated with the jQuery library or other similar frameworks. When making an AJAX request, a web page is restricted by the Same-Origin Policy, which means that it can only make requests to the same domain from which the web page originated. This policy is in place for security reasons to prevent potentially harmful actions, such as cross-site request forgery. However, there are scenarios where you might need to make requests to a different domain (cross-origin requests). To enable this, certain adjustments are needed. The crossDomain: true setting is one of these adjustments, and it tells the browser that the request is intended to be cross-origin.

Only one that makes the most sense after doing your research.

B is the correct answer

A beacuse the code is not redirecting the user to the other server, so he need to add the "window.location= 'https://evilcorp.com'"

I will go with A here as this explanation is what makes sense Out of the options provided, the correct line of code to achieve this goal is A. window.location = 'https://evilcorp.com'. This line of code redirects the user's browser to the specified URL, which in this case is the legitimate website of the organization being impersonated. This will make the user believe that their password change was successful, while the attacker harvests their credentials for malicious purposes.

B Cross Domim true

A answer is not correct B is the correct answer

B is the correct answer CrossDomain true

When setting up the attack, the security engineer would need to add a line of code that enables cross-domain requests. This is to ensure that the page can receive data from the remote server (in this case, evilcorp.com). Adding the line of code "crossDomain: true" enables the page to make cross-domain requests, allowing the attacker to receive the credentials provided by the users.

ChatGPT says: The success function in the AJAX request is empty, so the code in that function is not doing anything with the user's entered credentials. By adding window.location.href = 'https://evilcorp.com' to the success function, the code will redirect the user to the specified URL after they submit their credentials, which allows the security engineer to capture the user's credentials on their controlled server.
