Multiple Vulnerabilities in Pocket IE 
--------------------------------------

Pocket IE Attack Overview:

There are several weaknesses in Pocket IE that can be used to trick end users into submitting local and/or sensitive 
data, such as usernames and passwords. The potential for exploiting these vulnerabilities are restricted only by an 
attacker’s imagination. However, Pocket IE is not as powerful as its big brother, and as such, an attacker is 
limited in what techniques she can use to launch the attack. For example, Pocket IE has no support for the IFrame tag, 
which is extremely useful in XSS and browser-based attacks. In addition, Pocket IE does not support every JavaScript 
command commonly used by attackers. The final example presented is an attempt to combine these individual flaws into 
one attack and is only meant to serve as a proof of concept.
