Discussion
Opera Web Browser HTML Injection Vulnerability
Opera Web Browser is prone to a HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.
Opera Web Browser versions prior to 12.01 and 11.66 are vulnerable.
