CVE-2010-2662: Opera before 10.60 allows remote attackers to bypass the popup blocker via a javascript: URL and a "fake cl...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Opera browser issue where versions before 10.60 could let a remote website bypass the popup blocker using scripted navigation and simulated user interaction. The known business concern is nuisance or phishing-adjacent browser behavior, not confirmed system compromise from the supplied sources. Exposure is most likely limited to unmanaged or legacy systems still running Opera earlier than 10.60. Modern environments are unlikely to be exposed unless old browser binaries remain in use for compatibility, kiosk, testing, or archived desktop images. Treat this as a low operational priority unless legacy Opera is present. The issue is very old and the supplied data does not show active exploitation, but unsupported browsers should still be removed because they create broader unmanaged web risk. Mitigation focus: Inventory managed endpoints for Opera versions earlier than 10.60.; Upgrade or remove legacy Opera installations where found.; Check Opera vendor guidance and changelog notes for platform-specific remediation..
