OpenSocial: JavaScript Code of Flixster on MySpace – Start Hacking!

App developers should be able to start working with this code to understand the OpenSocial API’s and begin getting their apps ready. Download the various JS files here: opensocial.zip.

Take a glance at the MySpace source code of the profile page here: opensocial-myspace.txt.

    A quick look at the JavaScript code shows that the client-side JavaScript is passing the user ID to the backend without any authentication. This means that it’s trivial to mess up anybody’s Flixter profile.

    This seems to be a general issue with OpenSocial. Unlike Facebook, Opensocial seems to be missing user to app authentication. I wrote an article about it:

    I hope that the Facebook version of Flixster does take advantage of
    their authentication mechanism.
