Email passwords are not immediately deleted when deleting private data – Opera Security Advisories

Severity

Moderate

Description

When using “Delete Private Data” and selecting the option to “Clear all email account passwords”, the passwords were not deleted immediately, and would continue to be used until the browser was restarted. This could unexpectedly allow continued access to those email accounts.

Opera’s response

Opera Software has released Opera 11.01, where this issue has been fixed.
