Description

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Google Toolbar 2.0.114.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script via about.html in the About section. NOTE: some followup posts suggest that the demonstration code's use of the res:// protocol does not cross privilege boundaries, since it is not allowed in the Internet Zone. Thus this might not be a vulnerability.

Affected products

• Google Toolbar: 1.1.41, 1.1.42, 1.1.43, 1.1.44, 1.1.45, 1.1.47 (+11)
