Techniques for securely invoking a server-side API from client-side Web application code using AJAX. In one set of embodiments, a request to invoke a server-side API is received from a client-side component of a Web application, where the request is sent asynchronously using AJAX. One or more security handlers are then invoked to process the request in a manner that mitigates various security attacks. In one embodiment, a security handler is invoked to defend against a plurality of different types of Web application/AJAX security attacks. In another embodiment, authentication and authorization security handlers are invoked to authenticate a user of the Web application that originated the request and determine whether the user is authorized to call the server-side API. In yet another embodiment, configuration is implemented at the data storage tier to enforce user-access and data security on data that is retrieved/stored as a result of invoking the server-side API. |
