> - Where will the image be stored?
in a data url, also webdeveloper will be able to access it using dataTransfer/clipboardData object in onpaste event Bug 407983.

> - What about the security conserns?
What are your concerns? I only see same security concerns as the Clipboard access security issues Bug 407983, and the file property access security issues in Bug 390776
