I wanted to provide a webmail login for the staff at our board so I created
an XML menu that displays in the adminCP.
It was much easier to simply provide an external url for the email FAQ
but I didnt know the security involved in doing so.
This is how my admin menu is coded:
Code:
<navgroups product="vbulletin">
<navgroup phrase="*****" permissions="*****" hr="true" displayorder="1">
<navoption displayorder="1">
<phrase>log_in</phrase>
<link>http://webmail.*****.com</link>
</navoption>
<navoption displayorder="2">
<phrase>faq</phrase>
<link>http://faq.*****.com/e_mail/webmail_/index.html</link>
</navoption>
<navoption displayorder="3">
<phrase>*****</phrase>
<link>http://faq.*****.com/e_mail/setting_up_email/index.html</link>
</navoption>
</navgroup>
</navgroups>
~please ignore the asterisks.~
Does anyone know if there is a security risk with providing external urls within the adminCP?
