[Limitation]
This is a known limitation. The change you made allows
for scripting content to make it through the filtering,
so it will not be used. Example:
<a href="/"onmouseover="javascript:alert('onmouseover');"
>Server Home</a>
The ideal solution is to parse HTML tags, but it is
a low priority right now, and would require testing to
make sure XSS vulnerabilities are not introduced.
=================== BUG #2051: FULL BUG SNAPSHOT ===================
Submitted by: gunnarh Project: MHonArc
Submitted on: 2002-Dec-25 09:23
Category: MIME Filter Severity: 5 - Major
Bug Group: Incorrect Behavior Resolution: Wont Fix
Assigned to: None Status: Closed
Platform Version: All Perl Version: Any
Component Version: mhtxthtml.pl,v 2.30 Fixed Release:
Summary: Query string including 'action=' not handled properly
Original Submission: When converting a text/html message with the URL:
http://phenomenalmen.com/profiles/pm.cgi?action=display&login=forrest_horn
MHonArc screwed up the HTML source. The problem seems to be that both this query
string and the $UAttr variable includes the string 'action'.
I made MHonArc accept the occurrence of 'action=' in a query string by editing line
333 in mhtxthtml.pl:
$$data =~ s/(\s$UAttr\s*=\s*)([^\s'">][^\s>]+)
