In the last trunk build I did of Firefox (win32 build roughly 2-3 nights ago) I see "http://ebay.com/"; in the lower status bar on the test page. ~ Clicking the link takes me to ebay. I do not see "http://spreadfirefox.com";.

The flaw is in the way that these applications can be manipulated in simple HTML code to display an URL other than the one specified in a link, to be displayed in the status bar. | | The status bar is the first place users look, or at least should look when following any link in an email or on a website to ensure that the link is taking them to where it says it is. HTML that utilizes this vulnerability can change what is displayed in the status bar of these applications, thus leading to a possible major phishing hole that can be used in very serious ways. | | An example and this article can be seen at: http://habaneronetworks.com/viewArticle.php?ID=140 |
