Third Party JavaScript Management Cheat Sheet — Server Direct Data Layer

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). The tag manager developer user interface can be used to create JavaScript that can get data from anywhere in the browser DOM and store it anywhere on the page. This can allow vulnerabilities because the interface can be used to generate code to get unvalidated data from the DOM (e.g. URL parameters) and store it in some page location that would execute JavaScript. The best way to make the generated code secure is to confine it to getting DOM data from a host defined data layer. a DIV object with attribute values that have the marketing or user behavior data that the third-party wants a set of JSON objects with the same data. Each variable or attribute contains the value of some DOM element or the description of a user action. The data layer is the complete set of values that all vendors need for that page. The data layer is created by the host developers. When specific events happen t Attribution: Adapted from OWASP Cheat Sheet Series under CC-BY-SA-4.0.
