	codeexecution in server side!

i used to have my UA set to a basic xss script...
many sites are vulnerable to this.
The most troubling is the fact that many web based reporting / log tools
are in html format, thus rendering the UA injection in the browser of the
person reading the logs ( most likely an admin behind the corporate
firewall ),
thus exposing him / her to possible browser based attack scenarios.

These days, i've seen a trend in some so-called computer security
related websites. They have a feature to show a summary about the user
in some page in their website

Like;
-----
Real IP:
User Agent:
Transperent Proxy Ip:   etc...

---------

the problem lies when you supply a malicious user agent.

a basic test could be,

User Agent: <h1> Hello World! </h1> or some java script... better try
PHP instead!!!
