4.3

Medium

Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Opera versions prior to 10.01

Description The issue allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and cross-zone scripting attacks. This is due to the improper restriction of HTML in RSS or Atom feeds. Attackers can exploit this via a crafted feed, particularly when the application/rss+xml content type is rendered as "scripted content."

Recommendations For Opera versions prior to 10.01, update to version 10.01 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the rendering of HTML in RSS or Atom feeds to minimize the risk of exploitation.
