I just came across pdp’s finding jar protocol vulnerability on Mozilla Firefox, I think its a big issue, and the fact that it has been on bugzilla (#369814) for way more than ten fuck*ng days is not a good thing.

After a couple of minutes messing around the poc’s, I figured out that sites with open redirect issues are vulnerable too. I’ve created this poc that attacks Gmail, it’s based on my previous post and it will only show your contacts list, it’s not being logged server side or anything (as some people thought that my previous poc did. Credit to tx for discovering the open redirect issue used to exploit Google / Firefox):
