http://secunia.com/product/17044/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability was reported in GreaseKit / Creammonkey, which can be
exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The vulnerability is caused due to the insufficient protection of the
functions GM_addSytle, GM_log, GM_openInTab, GM_setValue, GM_getValue,
and GM_xmlhttpRequest for userscript. This can be exploited to e.g.
disclose and manipulate settings or send HTTP requests, if a user
visits a malicious website.

Successful exploitation requires that "userscript" is enabled for the
malicious website.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.4.
