Description

We are seeing a XSS exploit on 2.5.1 at the following URL

/informationobject/browse?view=card"><script>alert(150)</script>&onlyMedia=1&topLod=0

I couldn't replicate on the demo site which is running 2.4.1, so it appears to have been introduced after 2.4.1.

It looks like Chrome is blocking the attack but I could reproduce in Firefox. Markdown support should be enabled for this to happen.

Fixed in qa/2.6.x (PR).

Please, let me know if you want to give it a try before cherry-picking to stable/2.5.x.

Hey Radda,

Using the provided example URL in my vagrant box running qa/2.6.x, I can still get the 150 dialog in Firefox.

Sorry Dan, I was pushing to Github instead of to Gitolite and the commit got removed at some point from qa/2.6.x. It should be in there now ;)
