CVE-2004-1160

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The vulnerability in Netscape 7.x up to version 7.2 allows remote attackers to spoof arbitrary web sites by injecting content from one window into a target window whose name is known but resides in a different domain, as demonstrated using a pop-up window on a trusted web site, aka the 'window injection' vulnerability.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves potential phishing attacks or credential theft, as users may be tricked into believing they are interacting with a trusted site.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade Netscape to a version later than 7.2 or migrate to a different, more secure browser that is not vulnerable to this type of attack.
