Description Josh Bressers 2010-09-03 16:10:29 UTC
Security researcher Paul Stone reported that when an HTML selection
containing JavaScript is copy-and-pasted or dropped onto a document with
designMode enabled the JavaScript will be executed within the context of
the site where the code was dropped. A malicious site could leverage this
issue in an XSS attack by persuading a user into taking such an action and
in the process running malicious JavaScript within the context of another
site.
