Re: Sourceforge.net XSS

Gee. you are right, my bad. 

Related to the topic, there are other ways apart from
email to lure people and have an XSS in a URL executed
at their computers, Blogs and Bug tracking systems are
a good example. 

You simple post a comment with a malicious URL, in
this case the malicious code is not executed just by
seeing the page but by clicking in a link (on
copy&paste in case of a text link). Just one more step
than a regular XSS stored at server side.

Definitely it is more complex since you have to "go
phishing", but still doable and dangerous.

Regards and sorry again,
JC
