 Malicious HTML Tags Vulnerability
Malicious code sent inadvertently by a client for itself Many Internet web sites overlook the possibility that a client may send malicious data intended to be used only by itself.
Because the malicious scripts are executed in a context that appears to have originated from the targeted site, the attacker has full access to the document retrieved, and may send data contained in the page back to their site.
Malicious code that attempts to connect to a non-SSL URL may generate warning messages about the insecure connection, but the attacker can circumvent this warning simply by running an SSL-capable web server.

 Lenny Zeltser - The Evolution of Malicious Agents
In the context of this paper, a malicious agent is a computer program that operates on behalf of a potential intruder to aid in attacking a system or network.
Finally, the paper details the possibility of a new breed of malicious agents that combine propagation capabilities of old-fashioned viruses and worms with the interactivity of remotely controlled agents by using outbound traffic to obtain instructions.
In fact, relying on virus signatures as the only measure for protecting the network against malicious agents is generally problematic, as there is always a delay between the emergence of a new agent and a the release of anti-virus software updates.

 CERT Advisory CA-2000-02 Malicious HTML Tags Embedded in Client Web Requests
Because the malicious scripts are executed in a context that appears to have originated from the targeted site, the attacker has full access to the document retrieved (depending on the technology chosen by the attacker), and may send data contained in the page back to their site.
Once malicious code is executing that appears to have come from the authentic web site, cookies may be modified to make the attack persistent.
By constructing a malicious URL an attacker may be able to execute script code on the client machine that exposes data from a vulnerable server inside the client's intranet.

A father called to speak to his children and was told that they were not at home when in bet he could hear their voices in the background.
Finally, the reader should appreciate that while diagnostic accuracy for certain psychiatric difficulties is not as good as one would like (e.g., the personality disorders, see Turkat, 1990), the problem is compounded in family law where incompetent mental health examiners sometimes become involved in the judicial process (Turkat, 195)3).
As such, there are therapists who are "fooled" by such cases and, as noted earlier, will come to court testifying that there is nothing wrong with the mother involved.

Instead of adding code (and therefore increasing the code size), it also possible for malicious code to compress parts of the host resource first, so that malicious code and compressed host will have the same size or a shorter size than before (gaps could be filled with garbage).
