I share Peufelon's concern about publicising a possible insecurity before the developer has had an opportunity to fix it or explain why it is not an insecurity.
So do I, however, by reading this and his other threads, there more than likely isn't anything to fix in the first place. Even if there was a problem with NoScript, he's not saying anything about it so there is no point in creating these kinds of threads.
If there really is an exploit and you don't release it in the open somewhere or the to the devs, then only the black hats will know it, or if they don't now, they will.
I am somewhat tensed what comes next. Till now we had NoScript, DSL-routers, Akamai, Tor, encryption on media PCs and Firesheep. Hope the next one will be better.
It appears that as with the Tor issue, this issue is not an issue which can be fixed but is a matter of choosing your poison. Thus, I have requested deletion of the thread.
