Google Releases Web Browser Security Handbook

“Browsers have garnered renewed scrutiny from security researchers in recent years. In 2007, computer-science students at Stanford University found a way to bypass the same-origin policy in browsers, allowing an attacker to use the browser to access data on other computers on a victim’s network. This year, researchers Robert Hansen and Jeremiah Grossman uncovered a method, known as clickjacking, of exploiting Web graphics to persuade a victim to click where an attacker wants on a page. Both issues are discussed in the security handbook.”

From SecurityFocus News. Their post includes a link to the Google handbook that includes lots of gory details about what can go wrong with web browsers.
