Re: CSRF, XSS protection

> but its impossible to hijack the session itself.

Why is this important when you have a whole in your site due to XSS, as you assume above?

If some script get full access to your site through XSS, it can set any header it wants such that your backend can't see the diference between a legal or illegal call.

What do I miss here ?
