The exploit is a code injection vulnerability that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code by manipulating the 'roomname' parameter in the 'aim:gochat' URL scheme. The code uses a loop to create a string of 'A%n' characters and then appends it to the 'aim:gochat?roomname=' prefix. When the 'window.location' is set to this string, the code injection occurs.
Mitigation:
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to validate and sanitize user input before using it in URLs or executing it as code.
