I can't see this as vulnerability because its legal code I do something similar without using image map for my site to hide the affiliate tracking code.

This is the code:

<a onmouseover="window.status='http://www.the-url-you-see.com;return true"

title="The Link"

onmouseout="window.status='Whatever-you-like-here';return true"

href='http://www.some-other-url.com'>The link</a>
