CVE-2007-3481

Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—

Cross-domain vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and access restricted information from other domains via JavaScript that overwrites the document variable and statically sets the document.domain attribute. NOTE: this issue has been disputed by other researchers, citing a variable scoping issue and information about the semantics of document.domain
