What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Log in two users who have each other in their contact list, both using msn-pecan 0.0.10 (problem best understood by using two machines) 2. On one account, try to set some random Pango markup as personal message (the debug window talks too much ;) ) i.e.: "</span><span foreground="red"><big><b>whoops!</b></big>" 3. Look at the another account and you'll see something like this: http://bsd.org.mx/~alex/screenshots/msn-pecan-pango-markup-injection1.jpg If invalid markup is entered, the area where the "attacker"'s buddy information is, will behave oddly when the mouse pointer goes over that buddy: http://bsd.org.mx/~alex/screenshots/msn-pecan-pango-markup-injection2.jpg What is the expected output? What do you see instead? User input should be sanitized or stored using HTML entities, or, at least, displayed in a safe way. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Pidgin 2.4.0, msn-pecan 0.0.10, Windows XP SP2 Please provide any additional information below. - If the "attacker" is using the official client, msn-pecan wil render his/her status message as it should be (i.e. "<b>foobar</b>" is displayed as-is, instead of "foobar" in bold). This fact makes me think msn-pecan is not storing(?) properly the personal messages. - If the "attacker" is using msn-pecan 0.0.10 and the "victim" is using the official client, no personal message will be displayed for the "attacker" in the "victim"'s contact list. |
