1186579 2011-03-17 09:42:00 1 million posts = 7 million staples, plus a lot of wire. R2x1 (4628)
1186580 2011-03-17 10:20:00 Oh yes, I'm well aware of that, all I did was make it show the post number as 1,000,000, instead of 3, or whatever it was. It's actually quite poor how showpost.php doesn't verify that the post number is correct for the post ID, it just returns the value given to it blindly. Just a 'lil fun, is all.Somebody's taken a shortcut :D. I personally suspect the reason for this was to improve performance, as it significantly reduces load on the database.


..... hmmm.... cross-site-scr.... nevermind...Haha, it's not an XSS vulnerability - sorry to disappoint you :rolleyes:. The input is validated - as far as I can tell from playing around with the value, it appears to use something like ^([0-9]+).*$.

1186581 2011-03-17 10:24:00 Yeah, on later consideration I figured it wouldn't be vulnerable...

In other news, I did discover a minor vulnerability in the main pcw site.... yes, it's since been patched...

1186586 2011-03-19 04:36:00 Maybe our grand present from above for posting one million posts on a forum that promotes the use of blasphemous highly advanced 21st technology and that helps other heathen folk :devil use the technology effectively will be the 2012 apocalypse? Anyone want to wager on that? Personally, I'll go huddle in my little shell until that happens :sleep mookster1 (15854)
