    Microsoft IE cookies readable via about: URLS

    Microsoft Internet Explorer has a vulnerability which allows a malicious
    website to access any cookie in the browser's memory or those stored on
    disk. Cookies are used by web sites for storing preferences, statistics
    and tracking users, but also for storing more sensitive information such
    as session keys and even usernames and passwords. Cookies are used by
    many (probably most) online banks, webmail systems, and other sites
    requiring user authentication.
