Neither dataURI spec nor any other mentions if dataURI’es can not be nested. So here’s 07002 where dataURI’ed CSS has dataURI’ed image embedded. IE8b1, Firefox3 and Safari applied the stylesheet and showed the image, Opera9.50 (build 9613) applies the stylesheet but doesn’t show the embedded image! So it seems that Opera9 doesn’t expect to get anything embedded inside of an already embedded resource! 😀
But funny thing, as IE8b1 supports expressions and also supports nested data URI’es, it has the same potential security flaw as Firefox does (as described in the section above). See 07003 — embedded CSS has the following code: body { background: expression(a()); } which calls function a() defined in the javascript of the main page, and this function is called every time the expression is reevaluated. Though IE8b1 has limited expressions support (which is going to be explained in a separate post) you can’t use any code as the expression value, but you can only call already defined functions or use direct string values. So in order to exploit this feature we need to have a ready javascript function already located on the page and then we can just call it from the expression embedded in the stylesheet. That’s not very trivial obviously, but if you have a website that allows people to specify their own stylesheets and you want to be on the safe side, you have to either make sure you don’t have a javascript function that can cause any potential harm or filter expressions from people’s stylesheets.
