Gmail users at risk of Contact List Hijacking
Quote:Using a form of cross scripting, it becomes easy to steal a GMail user’s contact list if they visit a certain type of website. The only condition is you have to be logged in to GMail at the time of the attack. GMail is setup to store your contact list in javascript files, which is the core problem.

To see a demonstration of the attack, login to your GMail account and go to this website. I don’t know for sure if the list is being saved or not, so browse at your own risk. According to the website they aren’t saving the data.

Something worth noting is that the email it claims is yours, is never yours...

The search giant later learned that the same problem also impacted other services and resolved those issues within a day, she said.

Adkins said in an emailed statement: "To our knowledge, no one exploited the vulnerability and no users were impacted."...
