Re: Drupal Context Module XSS

["Justin C. Klein Keane" <jkleinkeane () gmail com>]

No, there are various types of admin privileges, such as admin bloocks, admin views, andmin content types and admin 
users.  On large sites it is common to divide up these privileges to various user groups.  Some are more powerful than 
others.  Admin blocks is generally used for layout and is not considered as powerful as, say, admin users.  XSS is 
particularly dangerous in Drupal because it can be used to launch XSRF that bypasses Drupals XSRF defenses.  Using XSS 
you can silently reset the super user password (which has all privs including the ability to craft PHP).  So, you could 
use XSS to attack site users or site admins.
