I changed my full name to <b>Jan!</b> and that worked (as in: bold font).
Similary, when I changed it to

Jan! <script>alert("XSS: see bug #!\n\n" + document.cookie)</script>

that ran the script without a hitch. This is a simple way to steal people's
cookies, and should be avoided, by escaping/"de-HTML-ing" any and all user input.
-> security group

I think I fixed this for 2.16/2.17 when I did the general html filtering
cleanup. That was templated, so it can't be backported to 2.14.
Group: webtools-security?
This problem is already fixed on the tip, and this patch just fixed it on b.m.o
and also applies to the 2.14.1 branch.

seems to wfm :-)
thanks for fixing
Did "Jan!" change the user name back? This morning, I got an alert, and not I
don't, but I don't see the <script> tags at all, even escaped.

Did any other place need this (assignee and/or bug comment?)
Wanted for 2.14.2. (BTW, we should be using a groupset query rather than status
whiteboard for security bugs, now we have our own group)

pretty obvious.

leave the security bit set and change the status whiteboard to "applied to
2.14.2" after you check it in.  That's what I'm looking for for buglist of what
went into it when we release it.
Re: #5, Bradley Baetz: yes, I changed my name. Any and all tags are now escaped,
or so it seems.
Checked in to branch BUGZILLA-2_14_1-BRANCH (note: it needs to be made more
clear on www.bugzilla.org what the branch name is.)

Checking in bug_form.pl;

Attached patch part 2Splinter Review
This fixes the other usages of realname in bugform.pl for 2.14. This has
already been fixed for 2.16.

Do we use realname anywhere else? Its value_quote'd in editusers.cgi.

r=gerv; I'll take you word for it that there aren't any more.

Should we be searching every CGI for these? :-|

Yes Gerv, we decided on IRC that's your job.
I grepped 2.14 for DBID_to_real_or_loginname, and that was it. I don't know of
anywhere else we currently use the realname. Do you?

I went through 2.16 a while back to fix these issues, although I didn't consider
the security aspect. I don't know if what I did could be considered an audit,
though.
I meant "should we check everywhere we print something without escaping it
first?" That would be a big job...

Gerv
As I said, I tried to do that a while back, on the template stuff. I got
everywhere I noticed, but that doesn't mean that I got everywhere...
Yes, but you did it for 2.16, didn't you? I'm talking about 2.14.2.

Looks good to me, but I agree w/ Gerv... maybe someone needs to audit the
source for this; are we *sure* this doesn't affect 2.16rc1?
Checked into the branch. Anyone who wants to audit, feel free.
