[Full-disclosure] -moz-binding CSS property: more XSS fun

Hm, I haven't seen this posted here ...
Firefox now supports the -moz-binding CSS property, which associate XBL[1] with an element. The same origin policy is not applied. This is a problem because XBL may contain JavaScript and it runs with full access to content.
There is a bug report[2] filed, but it seems unlikely that it will be fixed anytime soon.
This is a good time to consider using a CSS parser and whitelist to filter style tags and attributes. 

I've included a very simple example below.

Cheers,
