Cross site scripting - LOVEFiLM

It still worries me that so many sites are still vulnerable to cross site scripting attacks!

I use an online DVD rental service and today I needed to go and discover my password, only to be presented with a screen which took querstring values and directly places them onto the page.

What's worse is this page is running on a https connection meaning users could be lulled into a viciously false sense of security.

Just mentioning that weblogs.asp.net allows HTML input for your posts as well ;)

Which sadly enough gives a nice javascript alert when viewing your post.
