Re: Big Flaw in Firefox 2: Password Manager Bug Exposes Passwords
Dear fash1on@xxxxxxxxx,
It looks like in order to exploit this, attacker must be able to insert
form in content of exploited site. That is, to exploit this
vulnerability, e.g. crossite scripting vulnerability is required. In
this case, this is a flow, but not so big one. Is it so, or I miss
something?
