No replys,i guess its impossible...?

last bump for this..

[chessh]

The Chatbox Archieve (misc.php?do=ccarc) is XSS vulnerable. Here are the lines you have to edit:

Line 485 must be like this: $cybcb_search_value = htmlspecialchars($vbphrase['cybcb_search_chatbox']);

Line 487 must be like this: $cybcb_targettext = htmlspecialchars($vbulletin->GPC['cbt']);

Line 491 must be like this: $cybcb_search_value = htmlspecialchars($cybcb_targettext);

Maybe in the next version, you guys will include this fix.

Discovered and fixed by chessh, cigraphics and black_death from Click4Trick.com

[regitbull]

i would like to make a req for this mod.

What about a accept shoutrules before you can post function?
So you can fill in rules like no swearing,no insulting members,enz.
Like the accept forum rules mod.

But its just a idea.
But i think it would make your shoutbox better


Cheers,
regitbull

[HemoOo Nana]

thanks

I have the Security Token problem.
I updated to vB 3.7.2 PL2, updated Chat to 2.2 and now I have this error when the chat is refreshed or someone tried to post in it.

Note: Re-uploading the XML will NOT reset the shoutbox, all settings will stay the same.

I tried doing this and it made my chat freeze on Loading.

Did I do the change wrong, or have you updated the chat since then, rendering this mod to it useless?

Thanks!

My Issue is now fixed. I just downloaded the full 3.7.3 and overwrote all files then installed all addons again.
