  New research shows content inside an email can escape its message boundary and interfere with the webmail interface. Across attack chains spanning Outlook, Gmail, Fastmail, Proton Mail, Yahoo Mail, and AOL Mail, the techniques can capture passwords, take over third-party accounts, leak tokens, hijack trusted UI actions, and manipulate AI tools that read email. PortSwigger researcher Gareth Heyes presented the work at Black Hat USA 2026. One Outlook/Firefox chain spoofs a Microsoft sign-in screen and captures the password a recipient types. A Yahoo/AOL paste race can expose a Medium email-login token and let an attacker sign in as the victim. A Gmail/Cowork chain can exfiltrate a Slack token after prompt injection and user interaction. The paper presents proof-of-concept research and does not report malicious exploitation. Public PoCs remain available as of August 8. The researcher said Fastmail fixed two CSS mutation bugs and a Proton Mail proxy bypass stopped working when he retested it, while Outlook label-jacking and Gmail's image-set() bypass still worked when the research was published on August 6. The paper does not state whether the full Outlook password-capture chain was fixed. For webmail providers, the paper recommends isolating HTML email in sandboxed iframes and tightly restricting CSS, custom attributes, select menus, and image requests.

  @qaggnews @ColonelTowner @MarkEDeschaine True, back then the community was a lot smaller and better connected in a way, it was just us computer geeks, after all, just getting connected to the internet was difficult until Aol and Bix. I helped bring cable modems and digital set top boxes to the public but that wasn't until mid 90s. Before then, a fast connection was a 44.1Mb T3 at work, or a blazing 128kb from home, you could with some trouble get a T1... A fast CPU ran faster than 2MHz... (not GHz) The fastest link, mid 80s the Boston globe could get going from one side of town to the other was a T2 microwave link, 6Mb, so until Bill Gates started selling pc's to anyone, it was a close and honest community, not without the odd ones, but anti social was the 'uunet' red line I guess. How long did the gets() vulnerability remain unexploited? Years. People didn't break into other systems as a usual thing. That was 40 years ago though and things just aren't the same. The Arduino crowd strikes me as having some of the hobbyist sort of enthusiasm you'd see back then.

  This will fail. MySpace was founded by ******* spammers with a stolen email list. I knew them personally. This is just the animated corpse of AOL and Yahoo trying to get a single cent out of what's left....pathetic
