    Re: What are vulnerabilities in HTML5 or is completely secure

    What I had find through my experience that ample of languages are not at all secure. There are bugs in them which can be manipulated by any expert. This condition also apply on HTML5. There are some issue with the same. There are quiet a good articles on web about that. There you can locate all the risk in single page.

    Re: What are vulnerabilities in HTML5 or is completely secure

    I was going through a similar article where I found that HTML5 has some flaw related to SQL Database storage on the host. HTML5 offers you offline storage. But this storage is not secured. Somehow HTML5 works on its own to manage the offline storage stuff. This has generated some kind of possible threat which can led to exploitation. Somehow if you are involved in development or taking a help of developer in constructing your website then some ignorance can led to losses. Offline storage to some extent help a website to open up quiet fast. It improves the web loading time. Also HTML5 is quiet equipped with certain stuff which can help a developer to stay worry free about bugs. Somehow offline storage is offered by other languages also.

    Here you can simply open a website and you find yourself autologin, or the login credential are saved on your hard drive. This can be easily exploited. There is no powerful third party support which can protect this hidden data. If there are malware in your system, this things can easily be exploited.

    There is no scripting language which can give you a powerful option of complete security. There are some things which make a site weaker. I had tested many tools to check the vulnerability and located a number of bugs. What is important to check is when you are done with your site stuff, take a help fo security expert to generate log of common attacks that can happen.

    Re: What are vulnerabilities in HTML5 or is completely secure

    HTML5 has many new component added making it rich language for multimedia and other usage. So this added component are not powerfully scripted. There are certain flaws that can cause issue in future. What really matters is that your website stays working 24x7 and your database remains secure. Anyhow there are not major attacks yet came in news. There are number of scripting language on web that are used by people and a set of developers team keep a eye on vulnerability. For a sole person who runs a small site, cannot get effective support in this.

    There are different exploit still present which might take time to fix up completely. Talking about the functionality the language offers you a better option and it works easily. A HTML is the oldest language that made web more flexible, so many of us are thinking to migrate on this. But still you must wait for while or read a number of documents which explains the vulnerability.

    Those are complicated tech things. If you want a secure site, ask a developer. Talk to him and tell him about the stuff you need. They will offer you the safest solution. Mostly it also depends on the type of website you need.

    Re: What are vulnerabilities in HTML5 or is completely secure

    First of all if you are a developer then it is necessary that you go through some better documentation. While if you are just eager to find what it includes that it is a bit complicated for your to understand. The bugs are related to many things. Like offline storage, dom, cross scripting, sql injection, etc. This are broader concept and giving you a short description on the same is really not worthy. I had checked properly and gone through a number of documentation on the same. Some site has visual representation how this actually works. This might give you a clear idea how a attack can take place. Somehow there are vulnerability in many parts of web pages. The scripting is what really matters and should be done in better way. You will need a experience guy who knows ample of stuff about it. It is not at all complicated to find such developers.

    It is right an experience person can guide you well on that. HTML5 is not at all completely secure. There are bugs but they can be controlled. It does not means you must quit the idea of making a site in HTML5. With proper support and updates you can make your site active in much better way.

    Re: What are vulnerabilities in HTML5 or is completely secure

    HTML5 is better and offers additional functionality. It has became easier for many to get back on HTML compared to any other language on the web. Though it is not completely secure, but with proper practice we can make it. Some blogs based on explaining various black hat technique can put more highlight on the same.

    The can give you a clear idea about explaining things to avoid while making a site on this platform. Because if we get a ready to use template, or if that is not properly checked or verified that that can create a issue on the same in future.
