Is it safe to store TwitterAPI access tokens in Session variables?

45 Views Asked by At

Most sites instruct the access token and access token secret obtained via the Twitter API to be stored in $_SESSION.

On the other hand, however, we also see many sites that say "$_SESSION should not store sensitive information (credentials, etc.) because of the risk of XSS (cross-site scripting).

Is this a good way to do it?

$_SESSION[ 'oauth_token' ] = $reply->oauth_token;
$_SESSION[ 'oauth_token_secret' ] = $reply->oauth_token_secret;
