で言及してもらっているとおり。
とりあえず、つたない英語を駆使して作者にこの問題を伝えた。(いきなりMLに流すのもなーって思ったので本人に直接送った)
Hi, Brian.
I was really excited about that GfW's support Greasemonkey.
Then I was wrote a experimental script and published it on my blog.But... a few user commented about Growl/GNTP add-on's security issue.
Comment summary is as follows.
- It is very dangerous because it is executed the code to which
eval() has evaluated with the chrome privilege given.
- It enables a malicious attacker to attack users computer easily.
He wrote the experimental proof code about issue here.
http://www.paw.hi-ho.ne.jp/makochi/growl.html- Run the code when 'fire' button click.
- This code will open your 'note pad' application.And he told the solution about this issue as below.
He wore a patch also.
