Cross-site scripting can do amazing things. There are definitely security risks associated with JavaScript. There is at least one organization that sells designer exploits and browser scanning services. Basically, you post a bit of JavaScript and they determine what exploits the browser is susceptible to and then deliver a payload of your choice! Even arbitrary native code execution through browser flaws!

Want to have some fun with yourself? Try out the JavaScript port scanner demonstration from SPI Dynamics.

I had to launch Opera to see it. It doesn't work in Firefox. It was pretty cool though.
