XSS vulnerability via topic subjects in moderate.php is fixed (reported by PHPLizardo).

Before January 24th, you'll see why FluxBB 1.2 won't be like "FluxBB 1.2."

"Real"?

They're both "real".

Re: Which one is the real?

Who found it first?

Does it matter?

Re: Which one is the real?

I want to realize who copied who.

It really doesn't matter at all does it?

Re: Which one is the real?

All that matters is that someone found a bug and its fixed.

Re: Which one is the real?

Look at the dates. And what does it matter indeed?

Bloody hell, some people can be silly.

Technically no one. These software share a good part of the code so they share bugs as well. Take it as the bug reported under GPL licence. smile

Nice, I'll make another rhyme.

File sharing is true caring; choose not to pay, choose Piratebay!

Anyway, wtf? Well, as long as a suspected/identified problem is solved, it is enough for me. smile Thanks to the those responsible for it tho.

Re: Which one is the real?

Since we are in the general discussion section I will take the chance on asking this loosely related question:

Does XSS means unparsed "<script>" tags or is there more to it than that?

Re: Which one is the real?

XSS means "Cross Site Scripting".

It is basically inserting malicious code with data that is normally inserted, so, yes, most the time it means <script> tags so that the end user doesn't even notice it.

Re: Which one is the real?

I am familiar with the term, I was just asking if there is any kind of vulnerability beyond output of unparsed <script> tags.
Like, 'XSS' is used as if it would be a kind of vulnerability when apparently it can only be one thing...

Re: Which one is the real?

An XSS vulnerability is a cross site scripting vulnerability. The Wikipedia entry does a good job of talking about different "types" of XSS vulnerabilities (Types 1/2 are what you usually see).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting

The exploits do not have to involve Javascript but usually do because they're simplest. I mean, I can craft a custom form that looks just like a login box in an attempt to phish for login details, but why bother when I can use Javascript to almost undetectably steal your cookie and log in that way?
