    Opera Browser Address Bar Spoofing

    Just found this on Secunia's site.

    Secunia Advisory: SA12028
    Release Date: 2004-07-08

    Moderately critical
    Impact: Spoofing
    Where: From remote

    Software: Opera 5.x
    Opera 6.x
    Opera 7.x

    Description:
    bitlance winter has discovered a vulnerability in the Opera browser, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to conduct phishing attacks against a user.

    Solution:
    Disable support for Javascript.

    Input the URL to trusted sites directly in the address bar and don't follow links from untrusted sources.

    Read Security Bulletin

    well Ill be damned when a program gets more popular all of a sudden more flaws are Found. so I guess its not just microsoft thats messing up?

    I wish someone would have predicted this would happen. </sarcasm>
    Everyone is going to die, I am just as good of a reason as any.
