The XSS vulnerability in the Times of India website was discovered by Wang Jing, School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.  He has found that the vulnerability occurs at Indiatimes’s URL links. Indiatimes only party filters the filenames in its website.  Jing says due to this almost all URLs under Indiatimes’s “Photogallery” and “Top-lists” topics are affected by this vulnerability.
