HTML5 introduces many new features that can impact security, both positively and negatively. It allows richer multimedia but also makes some attacks easier. Features like Cross-Origin Resource Sharing, Web Storage, and IFRAME sandboxing could enable attacks like session hijacking or user tracking if not implemented correctly. The IFRAME sandboxing feature is particularly useful for security as it disables scripts and popups, though relaxing its restrictions too much could re-enable frame busting defenses.
