This may not be all that understandable to the average netizen... but this is kinda disturbing to me.
If Googlebot is susceptible to XSS which could allow SEO stuffing, then Google results can't always be trusted. (seriously, no snark here... google *is* the top SE after all.)

@0x56 there is a very vocal and technologically apt group of trolls and bigots who have been abusing SEO results for years now.
This wouldn't surprise me at all.

What could be even scarier is it could possibly mess with a legitimate sites ranking by affecting its "trust/backlink spam" authority.

Considering the current outrage about Google being allegedly biased this will just up the ante.
