Leveraging Active Adversary in the Middle Attacks to Bypass Same Origin Policy

CAPEC-466 · Standard · Draft
An attacker leverages an adversary in the middle attack (CAPEC-94) in order to bypass the same origin policy protection in the victim's browser. This active adversary in the middle attack could be launched, for instance, when the victim is connected to a public WIFI hot spot. An attacker is able to intercept requests and responses between the victim's browser and some non-sensitive website that does not use TLS.
severity: Medium
