IE 7 gets more vulnerable every day
October 26th, 2006
As days pass since IE7′s official release, it seems more and more vulnerabilities are discovered everyday.
Secunia said: “The problem is that it’s possible to display a popup with a somewhat spoofed address bar where a number of special characters have been appended to the URL. This makes it possible to only display a part of the address bar, which may trick users into performing certain unintended actions”.
As time passes, and observing the contradictory discussions between Microsoft and testers/security portals, I’m beginning to believe that Microsoft forced the release of IE7 just to stay “on stage” when Firefox 2 got live.
