Re: ACTION-333 OPEN Elaborate on ISSUE-4 Stephen Farrell 2007-11-13

Another one, this time the original mail [1] related
to thinking about FTP related vulnerabilities. For
an example of one such see [2].

I would imagine that there'd be similar issues with
imap: and other URI schemes (e.g. the sms: scheme
that's wending its way through the IETF [3] ;-).

Looking at wsc-xit it doesn't seem to say much at all
about de-referencing URIs other than HTTP URIs.

I would guess at minimum we might include a section
with whatever guidance we manage to gather about
other URI schemes (i.e. other than http:).

There may also be something to say about mixed
content here, e.g. if a bad guy could use some other
scheme to get from A to B (via ftp://foo) without
the user seeing the right security indicators.

Yet again, I don't have text to offer;-)
