Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GoSuRF Browser version 2.62

Description The issue allows remote attackers to access restricted information from other domains. This is achieved by using an object tag with a data parameter that references 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 GoSuRF Browser version 2.62, consider disabling the use of object tags with data parameters until a patch is available. Restrict access to external links and Location HTTP headers to minimize the risk of exploitation.
