Description:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Opera, which can be exploited by malicious web sites to spoof dialog boxes.
Inactive tabs can launch dialog boxes so they appear to be displayed by a web site in another tab. This can be exploited by a malicious web site to show a dialog box, which seems to originate from a trusted web site.
Successful exploitation would normally require that a user is tricked into opening a link from a malicious web site to a trusted web site in a new tab.
A test is available here:

The vulnerability has been confirmed in Opera 7.54. Other versions may also be vulnerable.
Do you have this product installed on your home computer? Scan using the free Personal Software Inspector. Check if a vulnerable version is installed on computers in your corporate network, using the Network Software Inspector.
Solution:
The vulnerability has been addressed in the 8.0 beta2 preview release.
