[RELEASE] LookingGlass v1.3.0 (Maintenance/Security)
Releasing LookingGlass v1.3.0:
Project page: LookingGlass
Security:
It was brought to my attention last week that an RDNS XSS could exploit LookingGlass.
As it turns out, illegal characters are not filtered on a lower level (as RFC1034 would suggest).
LookingGlass was vulnerable as it simply outputs the contents from a terminal. The fix applied uses htmlspecialchars()
to filter stdout from terminal.
What's the lesson here? Never trust anyone/anything!
