XSS Error
XSS Error
#1
Actually it might just be script injection... requires user interaction.  Pretty low level vulnerability so far.

Mm. Looking at what you posted there, it looks like it's more likely an issue with the spoiler plug-in I use than MyBBS proper, but I'll submit it to the MyBBS website after work.

Yes, well, the spoiler plug-in is limiting some unsafe characters, but not others — I had to use the hyphen to separate terms. But this is braindead security anyway. I’m sure I could write a better plugin.

Looking at the code of the spoiler plugin:

1) it's definitely the problem
2) I'm pretty sure I could string together arbitrary javascript because it allows dot and parentheses, which means I have access to eval() and can generate characters I need with String.fromCharCode().

Your risk profile is kind of limited because members need to be approved, and it still needs user interaction.

Given that, as you point out, the risk is low, I think I'll relax about it.
