Title: Multiple Vendor Web Browser JavaScript Multiple Fields Key Filtering Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Multiple web browsers are prone to a JavaScript key-filtering vulnerability because the browsers fail to securely handle keystroke input from users.
The issue occurs when multiple fields are embedded within a single label. These fields include:
- File fields
- Text fields
Other fields may also be affected.
This issue allows attackers to divert keystrokes from one input form in a webpage to a hidden file-upload dialog in the same page.
Exploiting this issue requires that users manually type sensitive data. This may require substantial typing from targeted users, so attackers will likely use keyboard-based games, blogs, or other similar pages to entice users to enter the required keyboard input.
