Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Opera versions 9.52

Description The issue is related to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the query string. This occurs because the query string is not properly escaped before storage in the History Search database, also known as md.dat.
