Re: [x0n3-h4ck.org] PayPal vulnerable to XSS

That's not exploitable. Remember that the "XS" in XSS stands for 
"cross-site": you have to be able to trigger the scripting using 
ordinary requests from another site. To generate this cookie, you'd 
need to already have scripting access to the paypal.com domain - in 
which case you don't care anymore.

Or you can use Flash to generate the raw headers you want to send.

Visitor -> attacker site with flash -> PayPal site

Visitor = exploited
