Re: Universal XSS in Opera > when I initially clicked on your tinyurl link, I was taken directly to a Wikipedia log-in page
Not exactly. I'm not sure exactly where you were "taken". It is more that you were "displayed" a page representative of Wikipedia's log-in page. (And it probably works too?)
If it were Wikipedia, javascript:alert(document.domain) would have said so.
And for clarity, my "therube" page is the same as what was discussed in this thread, »Firefox, Opera allow crooks to hide an entire phish site. | |  Name GamePremium join:2002-07-07 North Myrtle Beach, SC kudos:7 | Therube, Translated to english with Chrome then pasted in an .rtf and zipped attached. | |  BlackbirdBuilt for SpeedPremium join:2005-01-14 Fort Wayne, IN kudos:3 Reviews:

If it were Wikipedia, javascript:alert(document.domain) would have said so. ... Your first sentence is correct. The red Opera badge does appear to the left of the Wikipedia "page" address (indicating it was not a webpage accessed in a normal browser manner). Frankly, I paid little attention to the Wiki "page" itself or any badging initially, in my eagerness to get your text entered correctly into the address box after it appeared, and because I was instead looking for some kind of Javascript alert box to appear - which it did, when I entered the text. Needless to say, I was looking for the wrong thing. (Not the first time... and probably not the last )
So... whatever you set up at tinyurl does create the appearance of a Wiki "page" in Opera, although Opera badges it as an internal-created browser display (the data URI behavior). In playing around to see what the Wiki "page" would do if I tried to log in, it immediately coughed up more of the JavaScript alert boxes no matter what I attempted to enter. Also, clicking on any links on the "page" resulted in an Opera error message about "unsupported address type." -- "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?
