Re:XSS - a bug... sometimes

On: XSS Vulnerabilities Reviewed and Re-Classified

Finding a XSS issue on a webpage such as one that www.arin.net (see Full Disclosure) really doesn't do anything or represent a risk.

So if someone visits a link to www.arin.net in good faith that it is a trusted website that wouldn't try to break into your machine, what happens when an XSS vulnerability on www.arin.net allows an attacker to redirect to a malicious site that harbours a remote exploit for Firefox, for example? I wouldn't call that "doesn't do anything or represent a risk".

If a browser crashes, it's the browser's fault. No web page can be held responsible for a browser crash, regardless of content. File a bug report with Opera.
