Description Josh Bressers 2007-01-30 15:35:46 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #225414 +++

A flaw was reported in the way Konqueror processes HTML which contains a comment
used in a certain manner.  It is possible to conduct a cross site scripting flaw
on sites that allow a user to enter HTML comments, which Konqueror will then
parse incorrectly, causing the site to display unintended content.

Demo HTML file.  This file should not display an alert dialog.
