Kaspersky research shows that Safari, in saving a session for reopening later, stores session information in plain text. This includes usernames and passwords.

Kaspersky researchers have discovered that Apple's Safari web browser on OS X stores session information, including the username and password, in a plain text XML file, available for any user to read.

Apple has released an update to its Safari browser, version 6, that plugs 121 security holes, most of which involve the WebKit rendering engine.
The Safari update fixes a staggering 121 vulnerabilities, 117 of those flaws in WebKit, a browser engine designed to render HTML webpages. Most of the WebKit vulnerabilities could result in an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution if the user visits a maliciously created website, according to the security update.
Apple also patched two issues with the handling of feed:// URLs – one is a cross-site scripting vulnerability that could be exploited if a user visited a maliciously crafted site, and the other is an access control issue that could be exploited to send files from a user’s system to a remote server.
Another Safari fix resolves a problem in which passwords may autocomplete even when the site specifies that autocomplete should be disabled.

Une faille de sécurité grouille dans les arcanes de Safari. Elle permet à un site Internet d’afficher dans la barre d’adresse une fausse URL. Major Security en appelle à la vigilance face au phishing.
Or, un tel mutisme n’a d’égal que le risque grandissant que courent les utilisateurs de Safari, plus exposés encore au phishing.
