I want to represent a method for performing Cross Site URL Hijacking (which we
can call XSUH) by using the error object of Mozilla Firefox. XSUH attack is
used to steal another website URL. This URL can show the client?s situation on
that website, and it can contain confidential parameters such as session ID as
well. There is another useful article with a similar purpose but with a
different approach which is ?XSHM? article of CHECKMARX , and reading this
article is highly recommended to you as well.
As you might know, scripts error handling in Mozilla Firefox is quite useful
for the developers as it can show the exact source of an error with some useful
information. Now, this functionality can be misused to divulge the destination
URL after the redirections (XSUH attack) which can lead to condition leakage or
stealing some important parameters from the URL.

Note: This technique has been tested on Mozilla Firefox 3.6.3, 3.5.9,
3.6.4build5 (26th May 2010).
