Multiple browsers are vulnerable to the Dialog Origin Spoofing Vulnerability

Secunia - Stay Secure

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in various browsers, which can be exploited by malicious web sites to spoof dialog boxes. The problem is that JavaScript dialog boxes do not display or include their origin, which allows a new window to open e.g. a prompt dialog box, which appears to be from a trusted site.

- Mozilla / Firefox / Camino Dialog Origin Spoofing Vulnerability
- Microsoft Internet Explorer Dialog Origin Spoofing Vulnerability
- Opera Dialog Origin Spoofing Vulnerability

If you go to the test page, please make sure no critical applications are open and test cautiously:
