Multiple Vendor Web Browser JavaScript Multiple Fields Key Filtering Vulnerability
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).
