OK, Imagine that.
Say I have a "show my email to the world" boolean on my blog. Say I'm
allowing pictures in my comments, for registered users. Now the
attacker, puts this tag:
<img src="http://www.mysite.com/profile/showemail/check"; />
Then, leave a bot to scan for emails, every 2 minutes. All those that
read this comment, have their "show email" status changed. This way,
the attacker can get to emails, the user decided to hide.
Am I missing something?
