Description Josh Bressers 2005-02-28 21:01:23 UTC 
As users downarrow through autocomplete choices each is copied in turn into the
input control. A malicious site could create a page that autocompletes some
common data (such as phone number or SSN) and potentially convince a user to
arrow through the values. Script on the page could watch the values as they are
added and copy them into a hidden field for submission to the site.
