JSONP, or JSON-P (JSON with Padding), is a historical JavaScript technique for requesting data by loading a <script> element, [1] which is an element intended to load ordinary JavaScript. It was proposed by Bob Ippolito in 2005. [ 2 ]
Filtering out unexpected GET requests still prevents some particular attacks, such as cross-site attacks using malicious image URLs or link addresses and cross-site information leakage through <script> elements (JavaScript hijacking); it also prevents (non-security-related) problems with aggressive web crawlers and link prefetching.

While JSONP can cause cross-site scripting (XSS) issues when the external site is compromised, CORS allows websites to manually parse responses to increase security. [1] The main advantage of JSONP was its ability to work on legacy browsers which predate CORS support (Opera Mini and Internet Explorer 9 and earlier). CORS is now supported by ...
Since HTML <script> elements are allowed to retrieve and execute content from other domains, a page can bypass the same-origin policy and receive JSON data from a different domain by loading a resource that returns a JSONP payload. JSONP payloads consist of an internal JSON payload wrapped by a pre-defined function call.

Javascript can be used to submit a form which POSTs to another site and it is trivial to do so. It can even be done without Javascript, by tricking the user into clicking on something.
