Subject: Cross-site http authentication

Discovered: by JustAsFire JustAsFire@...il.com

Vulnerable: Any web page in which you can insert images hosted on
other servers.

Description: If a web page contains an image from a site which
requires authentication, an Username/Password prompt displaying host
name and authentication realm will appear asking for username and
password. A malicious http server could be used to log the
credientials of the users who would authenticate.

POC:

***description  : a very simple web server which sends a  401
Authorization request to anyone

username and password
