JavaScript Switcharoo Proof Of Concept

JavaScript Switcharoo Proof Of Concept
Posted Dec 8, 2011
Authored by Michal Zalewski | Site lcamtuf.coredump.cx

It seems that relatively few people realize that holding a JavaScript handle to another window allows the attacker to tamper with the location and history objects at will, largely bypassing the usual SOP controls. With some minimal effort and the help of data: / javascript: URLs or precached pages, this can be leveraged to replace content in a manner that will likely escape even fairly attentive users.

JavaScript Switcharoo Proof Of Concept

/* 

Another whimsical browser proof-of-concept:

http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/switch/

It seems that relatively few people realize that holding a JavaScript
handle to another window (either because we opened it, or because the
window was at some point displaying our content) allows the attacker
to tamper with the location and history objects at will, largely
bypassing the usual SOP controls. With some minimal effort and the
help of data: / javascript: URLs or precached pages, this can be
leveraged to replace content in a manner that will likely escape even
fairly attentive users.

<h3>The old switcharoo</h3>
This is hardly new, but illustrates the effectiveness of using
data: or precached content to do the deed. You're probably
fooling yourself if you think you'd spot this happening to you
in the wild.
