Multiple Vendor Web Browser JavaScript Multiple Fields Key Filtering Vulnerability

Publish date: February 15, 2011
  Severity: MEDIUM
  Advisory Date: FEB 15, 2011

  DESCRIPTION

Multiple web browsers are prone to a JavaScript key-filtering vulnerability because the browsers fail to securely handle keystroke input from users. Exploiting this issue requires that users manually type sensitive data. This may require substantial typing from targeted users, so attackers will likely use keyboard-based games, blogs, or other similar pages to entice users to enter the required keyboard input to exploit this issue. This vulnerability is related to the issue described in BID 18038 (Multiple Vendor Web Browser JavaScript Key Filtering Vulnerability).
