Dear fash1on () gmail com, It looks like in order to exploit this, attacker must be able to insert form in content of exploited site. That is, to exploit this vulnerability, e.g. crossite scripting vulnerability is required. In this case, this is a flow, but not so big one. Is it so, or I miss something? --Wednesday, November 22, 2006, 12:57:43 PM, you wrote to bugtraq () securityfocus com: fgc> "Today, Mozilla made public bug #360493, which exposes fgc> Firefox's Password Manager on many public sites.
