  • vpxx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yea i think this should be fixed as soon as possible, imagine someone implements this bug on his blog or some kind of page that requires users to write something (like this lol).. basically he would be able to access anything on the visitors computer..

    IE7 test page.

    Forgot to add those links. They are to test whether your browser is vulnerable.
