Despite i've told to nvidia only the "url redirection" flaw i

that, if "url redirection" will be solved all the xss inherently
vulnerabilites will be solved too.
Actual experience in the field has shown that in general, if you
report a URL
redirection issue to the maintainers of a website, a large
percentage of the
time they will *only* fix the problem with URL redirection, unless
you make it
clear to them *and they understand* that the URL redirection is
only one
symptom of a larger XSS issue.
I'll give it a 50-50 chance that somebody will get to send NVidia
an email
saying "Good, you fixed the URL problem. Now about that XSS...."
