XSS vulnerability on Dutch bank websites

without comments

My wife just send me a link to security.nl. Pointing to an article about XSS vulnerability in Dutch banking websites. And since i am from the Netherlands. I thought to check this out a bit.

security.nl states that a “security researcher” found XSS bugs in most of Dutch websites. With a link that seems to point to the “researchers” blog. I don’t know about you. But i personally don’t trust websites that i never seen before. Let alone “researchers” that have absolutely no credibility in the scene. However the XSS bugs are real. But is this really something to write about? Showing an alert box on a screen shot seems very lame to me. I wonder if this is even exploitable at all?

One good point is that at least one bank responded in time and fixed the bug.
