Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2023-12-18 12:39The AutoFill feature in Apple Safari 2.0.4 does not properly verify that all automatically populated form fields are visible to the user, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information, such as usernames and passwords, via input fields of zero width, a variant of CVE-2006-6077. This issue may allow attackers to obtain user credentials that have been saved in forms deriving from the same website where attack code resides. The most common manifestation of this condition would typically be in blogs or forums. This may allow attackers to gain access to potentially sensitive information that would facilitate the success of phishing attacks. is a variant of CVE-2006-6077.
To improve our services to our customers, we have made a number of additions to the Secunia Advisories and have started translating the advisories to German.
The improvements will help our customers to get a better understanding of how we reached our conclusions, how it was rated, our thoughts on exploitation, attack vectors, and scenarios.
This includes: * Reason for rating * Extended description * Extended solution * Exploit code or links to exploit code * Deep links
