Discussion

Apple Safari Cross-Domain Frame Loading Vulnerability

Apple Safari is reported prone to a cross-domain frame loading vulnerability. It is reported that if the name of a frame rendered in a target site is known, then an attacker may potentially render arbitrary HTML in the frame of the target site.

An attacker may exploit this vulnerability to spoof an interface of a trusted web site. To exploit this vulnerability a victim will need to visit a website hosted by an attacker. The attackers site will then spawn a trusted site in a window, if exploited successfully; the attackers site will place data into the IFRAME of the trusted site. This vulnerability may aid in Phishing style attacks.

The version of Safari included in Apple Mac OS X versions 1.2.8, 10.3.4, and 10.3.5 is reported vulnerable to this issue.
