Google Apps Vulnerable to Session Stealing Attacks?

Matthew Broersma at TechWorld has written an interesting article about potential security vulnerabilities in Google Apps, particularly in Google Spreadsheets.

According to work done by researcher Billy Rios, a security flaw (now fixed) was present in Google Spreadsheets that left users vulnerable to session stealing. Broersma reports that Rios believes this is a reminder that developers need to be aware of cross platform issues and how browsers may handle script and other code in different ways.

Is this a concern for other SaaS applications? Time will tell.
