Cross-domain vulnerability in Maxthon 1.5.6 build 42 allows remote attackers to access restricted information from other domains via an object tag with a data parameter that references a link on the attacker's originating site that specifies a Location HTTP header that references the target site, which then makes that content available through the outerHTML attribute of the object, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2006-3280.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2006-6985 is a historical browser cross-domain issue reported in Maxthon 1.5.6 build 42. A malicious webpage could make content from another domain readable to the attacker's page, risking leakage of restricted web information viewed in that browser. Exposure is likely limited to environments still allowing Maxthon 1.5.6 build 42 or similarly obsolete browser stacks. The source bundle does not confirm other Maxthon versions, modern browsers, operating systems, or enterprise products as affected. Low operational priority for modern environments, but worth closing if legacy browsers remain. The main business risk is confidential web content exposure from obsolete client software, not a server-side breach. Prioritize removal during legacy endpoint cleanup. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for Maxthon 1.5.6 build 42 or unsupported Maxthon installations.; Remove or replace unsupported affected browser software where found.; Check Maxthon or vendor archives for any historical advisory or fixed release..
