CSS has been traded privately for months
CSS for mspace and hi5 have been traded privately for months. My favourite was the Hi5 CSS that was publically reported in December over at sla.ckers and went unfixed for months.
The exploit instead of stealing the victim's cookie logged the user out of the app and forced them to re-authenticate writing out user / pass to a writeable file on previously compromised webserver.
Normally the victim would be given a hi5 or you'd sign up as their myspace friend and leave a saucy note. Intriguing them to visit your profile , be mysteriously logged out when viewing certain parts of the profile then getting their account hacked later on.
