But the information is not sent to the server, it's simply pasted in the text field.

Yes, but some JavaScript can detect that the text field has been filled, and then send the information back to the attacker's server. An (innocent) example of this is when you type something into Google's search field, and you already see suggestions, even though you haven't clicked anywhere or hit Enter yet.
