    Here are some of the things my security team has observed with relation to cross-site scripting:

* as you said, persistent cookie theft
* "session theft" where you act in the context of a privileged user
* as you said, running script or objects
* SQL injection attacking the back end logic
* likewise, XML injection
* changing page banners or other decorations in deceptive ways
* DoS attacks on the underlying system error logs
* causing a trusted page to display a link to an untrusted page

Hi all,
         I'm working on a CSS paper, and I was wondering, what are the real 
implications of a CSS attack. When some site is vuln to a CSS problem, 
you're able to execute code on the web. I've thought about the implications 
of this. First of all:
         - You can steal cookies from users
         - You can send bogus links faking the original site: i.e 
http://site/vuln.php?query=>...(faking vuln.php)...</script>
         - You can download & launch activeX (possible to download and 
execute trojans?)

Any more dangerous implications?
