    one or more memory devices that store instructions, which when executed by the one or more processor devices, perform actions that include;

    employing a request detector to detect a request related to a first content element and a second content element that are included in a data source of the viewing application, wherein the security vulnerability is further associated with the first content element;

    employing a content parser to determine a characteristic of the first content element and a characteristic of the second content element;

    employing a security data file parser to interrogate a security data file with the characteristic of the first content element and the characteristic of the second content element; and

    employing at least a decision module to disallow operations relating to the first content element and to allow operations relating to the second content element based on a result of the interrogating of the security data file, wherein the security data file includes an entry corresponding to the characteristic of the first content element and does not include an entry corresponding to the characteristic of the second content element.
