Reverse-engineers Manuel Caballero's then-undisclosed 'A Resident in My Domain' bug. document.getElementsByTagName is blocked cross-domain but window.frames[] is not, so a window reference from open() or window.opener lets an attacker retarget a foreign window's iframes on IE6 and IE7 and capture keystrokes there. A follow-up post covers IE8.
