Google toolbar causes security problems

September 22, 2004

It is reported that an input validation vulnerability in the Google Toolbar can cause various Internet security issues.

A local user can execute arbitrary scripting code if he or she makes such an attempt.

It is reported that the 'About' section of the Google Toolbar does not properly filter HTML code.

A user can create HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will invoke the About page and execute arbitrary scripting code in the context of the page.

Rafel Ivgi subsequently reported that the 'res:' protocol cannot be invoked from the Internet zone, preventing this flaw from being directly exploitable by remote users.

Impact: A user can cause scripting code to be executed in the Local Computer security zone.

Solution: No solution was available at the time of this entry.
