Two security researchers have agreed to hold off on demonstrating how they used a bug in one of Adobe's products to seize control of a victim's browser, according to InfoWorld.

Robert Hansen and Jeremiah Grossman were planning to present a proof-of-concept talk at the Open Web Application Security Project conference. The talk was to demonstrate how they used an attack known as clickjacking, which tricks users into unknowingly clicking on malicious links, to take complete control of the victim's desktop. But Adobe convinced them to hold off on disclosing the flaw until it could ready a patch.

Grossman and Hansen believe the design of Internet browsers is ultimately responsible for the clickjacking flaw. The two also have discussed the vulnerability with Microsoft and Mozilla, reports The Register.

So how can you protect yourself until a patch is ready? Disable scripting and all browser plugins.
