Description

1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2007-2383)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.
The Prototype (prototypejs) framework before 1.5.1 RC3 exchanges data using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) without an associated protection scheme, which allows remote attackers to obtain the data via a web page that retrieves the data through a URL in the SRC attribute of a SCRIPT element and captures the data using other JavaScript code, aka "JavaScript Hijacking."
