Opera : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, (XSS) CVSS score >= 4

URLs using “javascript:” have the protocol removed when pasted into the address bar to protect users from cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, but in certain circumstances this removal was not performed. This could allow users to be socially engineered to run an XSS attack against themselves. This vulnerability affects Opera for Android versions below 61.0.3076.56532.

The Opera Mini application through 16.0.14 for iOS has a UXSS vulnerability that can be triggered by performing navigation to a javascript: URL.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Opera before 15.00 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML by leveraging UTF-8 encoding.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Opera before 12.10 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via crafted JavaScript code that overrides methods of unspecified native objects in documents that have different origins.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Opera before 12.10 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors involving an unspecified sequence of loading of documents and loading of data: URLs.

Opera before 12.01 on Windows and UNIX, and before 11.66 and 12.x before 12.01 on Mac OS X, does not properly escape characters in DOM elements, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass cross-site scripting (XSS) protection mechanisms via a crafted HTML document.

Opera before 12.01 on Windows and UNIX, and before 11.66 and 12.x before 12.01 on Mac OS X, ignores some characters in HTML documents in unspecified circumstances, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted document.

Opera before 11.65 does not properly restrict the opening of a pop-up window in response to the first click of a double-click action, which makes it easier for user-assisted remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks or execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site.

Opera before 11.65 does not ensure that keyboard sequences are associated with a visible window, which makes it easier for user-assisted remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks or execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site, related to a "hidden keyboard navigation" issue.

Opera before 11.50 does not properly restrict data: URIs, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted web site.

Opera before 10.63 does not properly select the security context of JavaScript code associated with an error page, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted web site.

Opera before 10.63 does not properly restrict web script in unspecified circumstances involving reloads and redirects, which allows remote attackers to spoof the Address Bar, conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, and possibly execute arbitrary code by leveraging the ability of a script to interact with a web page from (1) a different domain or (2) a different security context.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Opera before 10.54 on Windows and Mac OS X, and before 10.11 on UNIX platforms, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a data: URI, related to incorrect detection of the "opening site."

Opera before 10.10, when exception stacktraces are enabled, places scripting error messages from a web site into variables that can be read by a different web site, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via unspecified vectors.

Opera before 10.01 does not properly restrict HTML in a (1) RSS or (2) Atom feed, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, and conduct cross-zone scripting attacks involving the Feed Subscription Page to read feeds or create feed subscriptions, via a crafted feed, related to the rendering of the application/rss+xml content type as "scripted content."

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Opera 9 and 10 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a (1) RSS or (2) Atom feed, related to the rendering of the application/rss+xml content type as "scripted content." NOTE: the vendor reportedly considers this behavior a "design feature," not a vulnerability.

Opera 9.52 and earlier, and 10.00 Beta 3 Build 1699, does not properly block data: URIs in Location headers in HTTP responses, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via vectors related to (1) injecting a Location header that contains JavaScript sequences in a data:text/html URI or (2) entering a data:text/html URI with JavaScript sequences when specifying the content of a Location header. NOTE: the JavaScript executes outside of the context of the HTTP site.

Opera 9.52 and earlier does not block javascript: URIs in Refresh headers in HTTP responses, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via vectors related to (1) injecting a Refresh header or (2) specifying the content of a Refresh header, a related issue to CVE-2009-1312. NOTE: it was later reported that 10.00 Beta 3 Build 1699 is also affected.

Opera before 9.64 allows remote attackers to conduct cross-domain scripting attacks via unspecified vectors related to plug-ins.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Opera before 9.63 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via built-in XSLT templates.

The links panel in Opera before 9.62 processes Javascript within the context of the "outermost page" of a frame, which allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Opera.dll in Opera 9.52 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the query string, which is not properly escaped before storage in the History Search database (aka md.dat), a different vector than CVE-2008-4696. NOTE: some of these issues were addressed before 9.60.

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.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Opera.dll in Opera before 9.61 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the anchor identifier (aka the "optional fragment"), which is not properly escaped before storage in the History Search database (aka md.dat).

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Opera before 9.52 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.
