Internet Explorer has received a lot of attention lately for the way it handles requests for external URIs.... Nate and I have warned that IE isn't the only browser with URI handling issues....
I've posted a PoC for remote command execution in Firefox (2.0.0.5), Netscape Navigator 9, and mozilla at: http://xs-sniper.com/blog/2007/07/24/remote-command-execution-in-firefox-2005/ These specific examples are built for WinXP SP2 WITH NO OTHER EXTERNAL EMAIL programs installed. Users with Outlook, notes, or other external mail programs installed may have had their URI handlers modified by the external program. Take some improperly registered URIs combined with a lack of sanitation by the browser and we've got problems.... its time to take another look at the URIs on your machine... -- Billy (BK) Rios http://www.xs-sniper.com _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
