First of all, I have NOT verified this. But...

This exploit is a non-issue. It assumes that you >have access to the admin panel. At some point we >have to trust that

An attacker hasn't got access to the ACP, but that's perhaps not required at all. Imagine if an attacker persuades the 
admin to visit a page while he is logged in the ACP.  The real admin would maybe follow that link and in the background 
the XSS page will be contacted. (ajax?) 
This could be enough.

But again, I have NOT verified this issue.
