Problem Description
When Opera is previewing a news feed, some scripts are not correctly blocked. These scripts are able to subscribe the user to any feed URL that the attacker chooses, and can also view the contents of any feeds that the user is subscribed to. These may contain sensitive information.
Opera’s Response
Opera Software has released Opera 9.61, where this issue has been fixed.
