Description

NSIA should incorporate a parser for JavaScript and CSS in order to improve the capability of the scanner. Below are the value-added analysis that the extended parsing would add:

CSS Parser

  • Identify bad CSS declarations
  • Identify content that is included via CSS

JavaScript/VBScript Parser

  • Identify attempts to instantiate objects (such as Shockwave Flash instances)
  • Could perform heuristics
  • Could identify bad JavaScript syntax
