Full Disclosure: Re: Facebook URL Redirect Vulnerability

[Javier Bassi <javierbassi () gmail com>]

Since Facebook uses a 302 redirect, the attacker can't steal victim's cookie
with a link like this:
http://apps.facebook.com/truthsaboutu/track.php?r=h<http://apps.facebook.com/truthsaboutu/track.php?r=http://www.securitypentest.com>
ttp://someurl.com/?cookie=<script>document.write(document.cookie)</script>
But still, this can be useful for a phishing attack.
