You connect to the console and authenticate against the server as normal.
You then open a new tab and visit another page, maybe a link someone 
sent you in e-mail.  That page contains Java script that makes a call to 
the application server.
As you are already authenticated that call is accepted by the server and 
whatever was requested by that Javascript is executed.

Supporting true cross origin resource sharing is not in itself likely to 
be a problem - we just need to be careful regarding what we allow.
