CVE-2008-4697

Opera Browser < 9.60 - XSS

Title source: rule

Description

The Fast Forward feature in Opera before 9.61, when a page is located in a frame, executes a javascript: URL in the context of the outermost page instead of the page that contains this URL, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
