Matthew Broersma at TechWorld has written an interesting article about potential security vulnerabilities in Google Apps, particularly in Google Spreadsheets.
According to work done by researcher Billy Rios, a security flaw (now fixed) was present in Google Spreadsheets that left users vulnerable to session stealing. Broersma reports that Rios believes this is a reminder that developers need to be aware of cross platform issues and how browsers may handle script and other code in different ways.
Is this a concern for other SaaS applications? Time will tell.
