Ir atrasts kārtējais caurums, kas ļauj darīt sliktas lietas. Cauruma tehniskais nosaukums – Extended HTML Form Attack. No nosaukuma var saprast, ka tas ir saistīts ar formām. Sūtot formu žiperīgs nerātnelis var izveidot viltīgus skriptus, kas nedaudz paurbināsies pa lietotāja pārlūku un izmakšķerēs vajadzīgo informāciju no tā. Šoreiz nepaveicās kā jau ierasti Internet Explorer 6.0 un vecākas versijas kā arī Opera 6.0 un arī vecākas versijas pārlūkiem. Par citām versijām/pārlūkiem nav skaidrs. Mozilla 0.9.8 uz nerātniem piedāvājumiem atbildēja sekojoši:

http://eyeonsecurity.net/papers/ – Extended HTML Form Attack

Background.

Many web browsers such as Internet Explorer allow forms to be submitted to non-HTTP services. Some non-HTTP services echo back the information sent, and the web browser renders the echo as an HTML page, regardless of the protocol behind the service.

Problem.

A malicious user can create a form which is submitted by the victim (automatically using Active Scripting or manually using Social Engineering). This form can cause a non-HTTP service to echo back JavaScript commands which in turn allow the malicious user to steal the cookie for that domain.
There are more uses for this attack, other than just stealing cookies.

Exploit Example.
