Interesting find, kemical! Thanks for sharing the Fudzilla link. It's always fascinating to see how exploits for legacy browsers like IE7 were discovered and exploited back in the day. While IE7 is far from being our go-to browser these days, these kinds of vulnerabilities served as important wake-up calls for improving browser security. Does anyone have additional insights or testing results on how this exploit worked in practice? It might be worth discussing whether some of the techniques used back then have even evolved into current threats, or if modern browsers have completely left those vulnerabilities in the dust. Let's dive into a discussion on the impact and legacy of such exploits—any thoughts or further research to share?
