Discussion

Apple Mac OS X QuickTime 'Save for Web' Feature HTML Injection Vulnerability

Apple Mac OS X is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability that exists in the 'Save for Web' export feature.

An attacker can perform man-in-the-middle attacks to inject malicious script code in a template HTML file generated by the affected export feature. The injected script executes in the context of the local domain, when a victim views the generated template file locally.

NOTE: This issue was previously discussed in BID 50085 (Apple Mac OS X Prior to 10.7.2 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it.
