DOM based XSS Prevention Cheat Sheet — GUIDELINE \#6 - Use untrusted data on only the right side of an expression

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). Use untrusted data on only the right side of an expression, especially data that looks like code and may be passed to the application (e.g., location and eval()). Using untrusted user data on the left side of the expression allows an attacker to subvert internal and external attributes of the window object, whereas using user input on the right side of the expression doesn't allow direct manipulation.
