Hi , I want to ask about the importance of the dataflow pointcut. It was defined as a way to detect cross-site scripting attack in web applications. In the paper "Dataflow Pointcut in Aspect-Oriented Programming", they can detect such attack using this pointcut. My question is why they don't search for just the call for the method getParameter using the call pointcut and filter the input for malicious code without the use of the dataflow pointcut.
