Description Stefan Cornelius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-01 07:47:42 UTC
<+ Multiple XSS +>
There're multiple XSS in `post comment':

[1] `name' variable is not filtered when it's assigned to `value'
    on the `<input>' in the form when the comment it's posted.
[2] Happends the same as [1] with `website' variable.
[3] `comment', this variable only filtered " and ' chars, this makes 
    possible to use < and >, thus this permit an attacker to inject 
    any HTML (or script) code that he/she want but without any " or ' 
    character, this only happends if the user that post the comment it's 
    the admin (any registered kind of `user').

superlag please bump as soon as a fix/new upstream version is available, thanks.
Comment 2 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-04 04:20:33 UTC
For [1] and [2] it's not usable for XSS (only affects you)
For [3] it needs to be posted by the admin (or approved by him) so very low risk.

We should probably invalidate it.

based on koon's comments, i think we can pass this over to maintainers

Invalid as a security issue
