Apple Safari on MacOSX may reveal user's saved passwords

[poplix@xxxxxxxxxxx]

hello,
Apple Safari on Macosx may reveal user's saved passwords. A local user with 
legitimate access to the system is able to steal keychained password by 
injecting javascripts into a loaded webpage via applescript.
It seems that safari fails to validate the source of injected code, however 
apple belives this is the correct behaviour so no fixes will be made available.


this proof of concept scpt file will display the password loaded by safari into 
an html object named "password":

tell application "Safari"
        do JavaScript "alert(document.loginform.password.value)" in document 1
end tell


comments are welcome

cheers,
