Netscape Communicator 4.51 allows sniffing of URLs from another

There is a bug in Netscape Communicator 4.51,4.5/Win95, 4.08/WinNT (probably others?), which allows sniffing URLs from another window. The exploit uses the ability to execute JavaScript code from specially designed URLs in the javascript console window, when an error is deliberately invoked. Demonstration and source is available at: http://www.nat.bg/~joro/b11.html (The exploit does not work if you are behind some versions of a squid proxy. If you do not see your URL in a message box, try reloading the main page). Workaround: Disable JavaScript. Regards, Georgi Guninski
