- use taint; could have prevented this. webmin is horrible
-
thats it.. 10 keystrokes could have solved this problem from the get go. It requires a little more work from the developer because it forces validation of all user supplied data! validation.. the bane of lazy programmers everywhere.
use taint;
Thats all it takes. This wouldnt have been an issue. A very well documented, highly recommended perl pragma for ALL webapps. Of course you can still screw things up with a little clever foolishness but thats possible with anything, and not really perls fault.
This whole article is very misleading. Its a bit like saying a car manufacturer should be held responsible for drivers deaths because they didnt wear their seat belt.
use taint;
Webmin as a whole is a poorly written broken crutch for inexperienced users. The whole project should have been scrapped years ago. It has wreaked havoc upon many otherwise functioning linux machines. Stop using it people. It breaks your box, by mucking up the very things it was designed to configure. Its a bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad application, even aside from its security flaws. - Posted by: spr0ck3t Posted on: 11/30/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
