Actually _right_now_ I cannot click "more"(on the first page) without hitting the "Unknown or expired link" page ... so I cannot go past the first page :/ -- Someone should submit a patch :)


I think in the github and launchpad case the security that a WAF normally offers would have been broken because the data to trigger the vector did not come through http nor https. I suggest you have a play around with github wiki's they already have 'html sanitization' built in.


this isn't going to fix anything that wouldn't be fixed via ensuring that stuff is escaped already on the page...


I spent about around 3 hours on github(found the bugs after like 2 hours and spent another 1 playing with wiki markup --- it is sanitized don't bother), 1 hour on bitbucket, 30minutes on gitorious(obviously the bug I found was found very quickly after signing up) and ~1 1/2 hour looking at the launchpad subdomain.

I did this over like the past 100 days.
