The vulnerability affects the XMLHttpRequest component of both Navigator and Mozilla, which is used primarily to retrieve XML documents from Web servers, GreyMagic said. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending Web browsers to a Web site that included hostile code, which would then allow the attacker to view documents on the users' hard drive.
