Javascript is probably the biggest concern, but there many other annoyances.

Stealing the cookie information and logging in as another user (especially an admin) is the only item that really scares me, I'm not concerned about the others. How difficult is it for someone to do that? I don't need details (I don't want anyone that doesn't already know how to do it to learn), but I'd like to know if this is something that can be done by anyone with decent computer skills, or if it's something that is possible only by an NSA level hacker. I'm not concerned with the latter.
