To steal a line from Haughey yesterday… If you understand what “Uninstall the monkey” means, you’re a nerd.
Guilty as charged I guess.
Fot those non-nerds out there, or those nerds that have been on vacation for the last week it looks like a fairly serious vulnerability in the Greasemonkey scripting application has been found and the call is out to upgrade or uninstall to lock down your Firefox install.
So now that you’re up to speed (sort of) or are at least feeling a good bit nerdier, Simon Willison has posted a full explanation of the vulnerability, detailing how the use application code was opened up to cross site scripting vulnerabilities.
