"We previously reported a potential vulnerability in OS X relating to browsers’ use of the help URL protocol. Although this was originally reported by many sources as a Safari vulnerability, it’s actually exploitable through any browser that properly supports URLs that include the "help" protocol (e.g., a URL that begins with <http://)> — which should be any browser that fully supports OS X’s default application helper settings. In fact, through the use of meta "refresh" tags in the source of a Web page, the vulnerability can be exploited without a user even clicking on a "malicious" link."
"In addition, although the original reports around the Web noted the use of Safari’s ability to auto-mount disk images — followed by a help URL that uses Help Viewer’s ability to execute AppleScripts, in order to run a malicious script located on the mounted disk image — this is only one way in which a help URL could be used to cause damage to a user’s data."
