AOL Search Reflected File Download

Oren Hafif reported a new kind of attack called Reflected File
Download (https://www.blackhat.com/eu-14/briefings.html#reflected-file-download-a-new-web-attack-vector)
in Black Hat Europe 2014 conference.
More details about the attack you can found in his public
presentation: https://www.blackhat.com/docs/eu-14/materials/eu-14-Hafif-Reflected-File-Download-A-New-Web-Attack-Vector.pdf.
Google and Bing have already fixed the vulnerability but I've found
the same vulnerability in AOL Search Website.
A malicious user could send the link below to a victim that you
download a malicious batch file from autocomplete.search.aol.com
domain.
In the link below we have search for 'iramar "||calc||' using the AOL
autocomplete domain. The browser will encode the double quotes but the
server will escape it (\") and return inside the json on the body
response.
Since the response has the header "Content-Type:
application/x-suggestions+json;charset=UTF-8" the browser will
automatically try to download the reflected file. Chrome didn't try to
download the file but Internet Explorer and Firefox will.
