  > Among the risks that HTML5 brings, according to Bellanger: * Canvas image-rendering exploits, which can cause buffer overflows that a hacker could then use to inject code into the session * Cross-site scripting, where intruders can steal information from a session in the browser * SQL injection, where a malicious query is used to extract information from a database in the browser * Cross-site request forgeries, where a user token is taken over to impersonate a user on the Web 3 of these seem older than HTML5. SQL Injection has been around a long time. How long have in-browser databases been used? Are these widely used?
