Abusing Protocols to Load Local Files, Bypass the HTML5 Sandbox, Open Popups
Was this properly disclosed? Has it been fixed?<p>I didn't see anything in the article about this but I may have just missed it.<p>But aside from that, this is a pretty big deal. MS Edge has been looking pretty good lately. It felt like they have been taking security more seriously, and the new AppGuard stuff looked interesting, but even that doesn't look like it would fix this as it looks like this is "working as intended" letting any link communicate outside the "web sandbox".<p>I was hoping Edge wouldn't go down the same path that IE did with "special" tie ins to the OS, but it seems they are still trying.
