Fun with data: URLs

Notes that data: URLs bypass anti-XSS filters, and in Firefox and Opera a document opened from one keeps access to the opening page, so a single link yields XSS. Fuzzing the data: URI syntax found parsers that accept junk after the base64 token, a stray colon, embedded whitespace or a doubled comma. A table records which ASCII bytes each of four browsers tolerates.
