Ctrl+C or ^c (copy to clipboard) vulnerability and cure,

[Billl Gates]

We do copy various data by Ctrl + C for pasting elsewhere. This copied data

is stored in clipboard and is accessible from the net by a combination of

Javascripts and ASP.

Just try this:

1) Copy any text by Ctrl + C





2) Click the Link:
Code:

http://www.sourcecodesworld.com/special/clipboard.asp







3) You will see the text you copied was accessed by this web page.



Do not keep sensitive data (like passwords, credit card numbers, PIN etc.)

in the clipboard while surfing the web. It is extremely easy to extract

the text stored in the clipboard to steal your sensitive information.

Text From Your Clipboard - Source Code
The Clipboard hack is done by the following Source Code:

PHP Code:

<Script Language="JavaScript">
var content = clipboardData.getData("Text");
alert(content);
</Script>
​

Solution:

To avoid Clipboard Hack Problem, do the following:

1. Go to internet
options->security
2. Press custom level
3. In the security settings
, select disable under Allow paste operations via script.

Now the contents of your clipboard are safe.
