CVE-2007-1115

Opera <9.20 - XSS

Title source: llm

Description

The child frames in Opera 9 before 9.20 inherit the default charset from the parent window when a charset is not specified in an HTTP Content-Type header or META tag, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, as demonstrated using the UTF-7 character set.
