Published: 2009-09-18   Modified: 2012-02-13

Description:
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Opera 9 and 10 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a (1) RSS or (2) Atom feed, related to the rendering of the application/rss+xml content type as "scripted content." NOTE: the vendor reportedly considers this behavior a "design feature," not a vulnerability.
