IE Clipboard Reveals Informations
Posted by coldtobi | 29 May, 2008, 00:01
Another reason why I don't like the Internex Explorer: Security.
Just copy some random text int your clipboard and then click on this site (Sorry, German only).
If you are doing that with IE, you'll get a very nice verbatim copy of that you just have entered.
And, no, this is not recently detected: This problem exists since version 5.0 (January 2002!) and is still not adequatly addressed. (Described here).
The solution for this problem would be simple. One alternative would be to set default security zone settings to restrict clipboard access by default.
