- Description
- Opera allows remote attackers to bypass intended cookie access restrictions on a web application via "%2e%2e" (encoded dot dot) directory traversal sequences in a URL, which causes Opera to send the cookie outside the specified URL subsets, e.g. to a vulnerable application that runs on the same server as the target application.

- Frech> XF:web-browser-cookie-bypass(15424) | http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/15424 | Christey> Consider whether this is really a design-level problem that applies to | the interaction between any vulnerable XSS, its associated domain, and | any web browser, because browsers enforce security boundaries at the | domain level. If so, then the "%2e%2e" problem may be a red herring, | or a single attack vector of any number of vectors. | | CVE-2003-0513, CVE-2003-0514, CVE-2003-0592, CVE-2003-0593, | and CVE-2003-0594 all cover this specific issue (each for a | different browser).
