Summary

Older versions of Mozilla and Netscape allow attackers to exploit a vulnerability that enables the remote theft of cookies from unsuspecting users. By crafting a specially designed link containing a hex-encoded null character (%00) followed by the target domain, malicious actors can bypass the security restrictions placed on cross-domain cookie access. This poses significant risks to user privacy and data integrity.
