2007-01-08 09:42:00
As i told you few days ago about the flaw discovered in the adobe reader version 7 by which it can be used for phishing scams or for getting personal or accounting information of the users. The problem lies with the Javascript.The Adobe flaw is with a Javascript "feature" in Reader and the Adobe plug-ins that render PDFs in Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Mozilla's Firefox Web browsers. It turns out that this feature introduces the possibility of so-called "cross-site-scripting" attacks, which involve tricking a Web site (or a user's Web browser) into displaying content from a site other than the one which is typed in the browser's address bar. Actually sometimes readers are referred to a PDF document for further information on that point or subject.Now have a look how it happens. let us suppose you are reading any blog which contains a link to an PDF document hosted on any accounting site or any bank site. Now you are referred to that document but you are not sure what it con...
