comment Authentication concept for sites served to another site
In the 3-legged OAuth scheme, I take it we are the service provider and the consumer is the CMS. However, this requires the user to actively log in at the service provider, which authenticates the user. This is not possible in our case—the user will authenticate against the CMS first. Or am I missing something?

@SébastienRenauld We only supply pages that are loaded in an iframe, that's it. Could you elaborate on how that would work? The customer has to log in at the CMS – then the CMS can request almost anything from us, but it has to be via GET.

comment Authentication concept for sites served to another site
We might be able to use HTTPS for all communication. POST is out of the question because we're literally just embedding the content into an iframe, like in the URL example above. Maybe we could authenticate once via POST and then through our backend store… a cookie? Would that cookie work even though we're accessing within an iframe?

comment How to scan Javascript for malicious code?
I don't think this is as easy as you believe it is. Javascript can't do anything malicious by itself and there's no "virus" to be detected. Javascript is the primary vector for Cross Site Scripting attacks, but it would be better to secure your webapp against this rather than to trust extensions. It's your webapp that's vulnerable and you'd need a good understanding of the webapp in order to analyze extensions for their security.
