Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Maxthon version 1.5.6 build 42

Description A cross-domain issue allows remote attackers to access restricted information from other domains. This is achieved by using an object tag with a data parameter referencing a link on the attacker's site, which specifies a Location HTTP header referencing the target site. The content then becomes available through the outerHTML attribute of the object.

Recommendations For Maxthon version 1.5.6 build 42, consider disabling the use of object tags with external data parameters until a patch is available. Restrict access to sensitive information to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
