A vulnerability was identified in Greasemonkey, which could be exploited by remote attackers to read arbitrary files on a vulnerable system. This flaw is due to a design error when using insecure "GM_*" functions (i.e. GM_xmlhttpRequest, GM_getValue, or GM_getValue), which could be exploited via a malicious web page to read any file on a vulnerable system or list the contents of local directories.
