Recently I tried to login into my Yahoo mail account with Firefox ESR where NoScript showed me this warning when the captcha was shown at the login:
NoScript filtered a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) attempt from [https.login.yahoo.net]. Technical details have been logged to the Console.
NoScript also opened a window about "clickjacking / UI redressing" in the captcha. Iirc without unlocking the 'Verify' button would not be clickable and fully visible. I'm also getting a window about this for other Google Captchas such as on stack exchange sites.
I did not get the XSS warning at earlier logins except for maybe one or two exceptions.
The URL basically looked like this: https://login.yahoo.com/account/challenge/recaptcha?.src=fp&authMechanism=primary&display=login&yid=name&dname=name&done=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.yahoo.com%2F&crumb=id&acrumb=id2&s=QQ--&c=verylongid&e=true&pcn=password
Here is the copy pasted content of the console (pastebin.com/e9BgXheC):

I find it interesting that it seems to query reddit.
I'm using the HTTPS Everywhere AddOn (of course) and I also had the Reddit Enhancement Suite installed. But I got the same error when disabling that AddOn.
I'm also wondering what the "[ABE WAN] Trying to detect WAN IP" lines mean.
And here is a related paste: https://pastebin.com/gRuUW6Vw
My question is: was this an actual XSS attempt or a false positive? Either way: why did I get this error and are more people getting this error?
