Follow-up Comment #2, sr #106475 (project administration):

OK, if you follow the link in comment # 1
<https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?106475#comment1>, it should take
you to a page where mousing over the floating GNU in the green feedback box
will trigger a javascript alert that says "monkeys!".

It doesn't take much to go from there to javascript that does arbitrarily
complicated things as the logged-in user.

I consider this a fairly severe security concern.
