 A security weakness in <A href="http://www.barackobama.com" linkindex="1">Barack Obama's</A> website has been exploited to redirect visitors to <A href="http://hillaryclinton.com" linkindex="2">Hillary Clinton's</A> website. Visitors who viewed the <A href="http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/members" linkindex="3">Community Blogs</A> section of the site were instead presented with Clinton's website as a result of a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

 A user named Mox, from Liverpool, IL, posted an <A href="http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/xss/gGCCkL" linkindex="4">apparent confession</A> in the Community Blogs section on the Barack Obama website yesterday. The subject of the post was, "<I>I am the one who "hacked" Obamas site.</I>"

By allowing users to enter characters such as &gt; and " into their blog URLs, JavaScript could be injected into pages in the Community Blogs section and would be executed by subsequent visitors.
