Details
The security review identified the importance of giving good security advice to social integration providers.
The secreview wiki (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Reviews/SocialAPI) documents these as proposed or accepted remediations
The purpose of this bug is for tracking and review of the documentation/guidance to be created for social providers.
My take is that we need to offer two categories of documentation:
1. Guidance for developers
- Their code should never have the user login from the social window, only from the main browser window
- They should instruct their users that if they see a login request inside the social window, it's spoofed/unsafe and they should not use it
- Guide providers about safe strings to place in notifications - e.g. "Joe has come online" but not "Joe has a new update and here it is: XXXX"
- Information on what is blocked in the sandbox (plugins, etc)
2. Infrastructure
- How to deploy their code safely
- SocialAPI requires valid ssl certs, safebrowsing checks, same-origin policy of any urls in the manifest.
Please expand this list as you see the need.
