I never quite get what the point of these reports are. Unless I'm mistaken, in order to do *any* of those XSS attacks, you have to be an admin already. At which point the attacks become pointless (as why XSS when you can just nab a backup of their database?) Are you going to go to, say, vB's style editor next and say "OMG you can put XSS in it?!" Here's a little secret, database restore options on any forum package out there allows you to execute any SQL you wish! You just need to be an admin to do it. Pointless. Jessica
