Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in a Web browser that may lead to malware execution on a computing device are reduced. The specific vulnerabilities arise from HTML-based e-mails using e-mail service providers (e.g., Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo) that have unknown or malformed HTML elements and Javascripts. These unknown elements may execute in a browser and cause harm to the computing device. To prevent this, the e-mail is parsed to create a DOM tree. The DOM tree is filtered using a normal element filter. The modified DOM tree is filtered a second time using a script analyzer filter to isolate potentially harmful HTML and Javascript elements. These elements are then emulated to determine which of them are in fact malicious. These malicious elements are then prevented from executing, for example, by preventing the e-mail recipient from opening the e-mail in the browser.

Preventing cross-site scripting in web-based e-mail

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for protecting computers from data loss involving screen capture. Screen capture events are detected in a computer. Documents that are visible on a computer screen are identified. Files of the visible documents are identified and scanned for sensitive data to determine whether the screen capture events are targeting contents of sensitive documents.
