Wow. I always had a gut feeling that the windows clipboard was a gaping security vacuum just waiting to be filled. Would it be possible to exploit this with an ActiveX applet downloaded stealthily from a web site? This problem and the referenced 10 immutable laws of security from Microsoft bring me back to my question -- can Microsoft Windows ever be secure or do we need to basically start over? See http://www.microsoft.com/technet/columns/security/essays/10imlaws.asp >>> Alan <alan@private> 08/06/02 10:46PM >>> http://security.tombom.co.uk/shatter.html This is quite interesting. With this method any user can get whatever privileges they want under any version of Windows. And Microsoft does not have a fix for it. (They also have stated that it is not a security problem...) Doh!
