Description

Maxthon Browser contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized information disclosure. The issue is triggered when the max.src file, which contains the "security id" for a plugin, is included in a script on a web page. API funtions can be called using the "security id" retrieved, allowing an attacker to call functions that will read and write to local files, which results in a loss of confidentiality and integrity.
