I think there are still some issues as you can work with ports without
user permissions so for example someone can make a script which will attack
other pages or spam anybody and user don't need to know that something
is happening - if he's not using some firewall (which is necessary
these days)
But such a attacks can be done from flash as well (except spaming of
course).
