Exploiting XSS vulnerabilities on cookies

Exploits an XSS that only reflects a cookie value, where nothing the browser normally sends would carry the attacker's cookie. A Flash movie's LoadVars.addRequestHeader sets a Cookie header on a cross-domain POST, planting the script payload; demonstrated against pics.defcon.org. Works on the then-current Flash Player, but not in Internet Explorer.
