JavaScript Global Namespace Pollution

pdp sketches detecting JavaScript malware by diffing the global object before and after untrusted input, with a small recursive walker, and then the evasions: wrap the payload in a closure that touches neither window nor document, or hide it on prototypes and other synthetic-sugar objects. DOM mutation is noted as the blind spot nobody checks.
