Opera and Konqueror address bar spoofing
| opera-konqueror-addressbar-spoofing (35430) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Opera and Konqueror could allow a remote attacker to spoof the address bar, caused by the improper handling of "data:" URI's. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web site and click on a malicious link, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to spoof the address bar or conduct phishing attacks.
