Many already know the use of fake URLs like http://usernameassword@malicious_site.com to fool the users and make them believe they are going to a trusted site ( i.e: http://www.microsoft.com&session%124987f3a@ozoneasylum.com ). |

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action. |

That kind of vulnerability combined with a fake remake of a site can be used to steal some credit card numbers, paypal accounts ... |

InI: I just tried your test page, but it didn't work in my browser (IE6/Win). The address bar simply displayed what I had typed into the text box. |

Suho1004: that's exactly what the vulnerability does. If you right click and look the actual location of the page, you'll see that the one displayed in MSIE's address bar stops at the 0x01 character. That way you can fool some visitors and make them believe they are surfing a gentle site while they actually are in a booby trap . |

can't you get free web masking thingies anyway? i know the old cjb.net ones give you the option to mask every page on your site as www.???.cjb.net so i'm sure there are sites that let you msk anything on top... |

Yes, but you couldn't get one that would mask your URL to an existing one, or one that would allow you to do harm like this would |

Suho1004: After my rolling eyes, you get my tongue for not looking InI's script in details to see that he routed his test to the page I submitted in the first place. |

Hmm.....maybe this is NOT a vulnerability . Perhaps it is a 'feature'. After all Mozilla has those really cool developer tools, Netscape has developer's sidebars available, so why not make IE hacker friendly....? I'm looking forward to the anonymous bulk-email feature. |

Also as an added benefit to the hackers, to ensure they have a Merry Christmas, Microsoft will not be publishing a patch this month .... oops, nope they are patching oh wait ... it's a repeat patch? LOL! |

Alevice: Like I said, that would work for hovering over the link, but the browser would still show the true url while loading the page. It would be easy to miss, though. |

Shit I'm gonna take this back. After reading the comments it looks like this patch is not ready for prime time. |
