Dear petko d. petkov,
I don't know if it was your intention, but you're giving a bad name to
xssed.com, which goal is to organize the public XSS vulnerabilities, make
statistics, and first of all to spread education about XSS
vulnerabilities. While the scenario you describe is somehow possible, it
relies on the availability of our web site, and we'd be able to stop it
quickly. Anybody would be able to build such list of XSS list without the
need of our site, and with their own discoveries. I wanted to clarify it.
Anyway i think that everybody here on the list knows the dangers and
advantages of full disclosure..

In this article I explain a technique that can be used by malicious
minds to build the next generation of JavaScript based malware. The
post is for education purposes and I welcome everyone who has ideas
how to stop these types of attacks to do so by sending an email or
posting a comment. We do really need to start thinking about how to
fight back and start developing strategies that can apply.

cheers
