High Michal Zalewski Unauthorized access to wyciwyg:// documents

Description

Michal Zalewski reported that it was possible to bypass the same-origin checks and read from cached (wyciwyg) documents.

It is possible to access wyciwyg:// documents without proper same domain policy checks through the use of HTTP 302 redirects.

This enables the attacker to steal sensitive data displayed on dynamically generated pages; perform cache poisoning; and execute own code or display own content with URL bar and SSL certificate data of the attacked page (URL spoofing++).
