Yeah, this rang false to me too. It’s also the reason you can’t take a
client with 100 applications and run a tool that spams every discovered
endpoint with XSS vectors; their customers scream bloody murder when every
other page starts popping an alert box.

(This comes up a lot because people who don’t do large-scale testing tend
to believe XSS is something you can safely test for everywhere).

You can with stored cross site scripting.

You if the app is also vulnerable to cross site request forgery.

You can if you steal a privileged session and you have network access.

Probably the best book I've read all year. Immediately go and purchase and
read this. Speaks well to the hacker spirit, but is written like poetry.

2. http://cybersecpolitics.blogspot.com/2016/10/book-
review-cyber-war-vs-cyber-realities.html - Read my review please, but
don't buy the book. :) I masochistically read these books because if you
don't publicly review them, they filter into things people "know" about
cyber war strategy, and make for very painful policy meetings and Wassenaar
like things. People who write these sort of books need to write them
knowing someone is going to read them with a critical eye.
