Abstract
Web Cache Poisoning is an attack against the integrity of an intermediate Web cache repository, in which genuine content cached for an arbitrary URL is replaced with spoofed content. Users of the Web cache repository will thus consume spoofed content instead of a genuine one when requesting this URL through the Web cache.
