Please write us an XSS filter "regular expression".

Post by Epischedda13 »

Folks,

The No-Script XSS warning bar routinely pops up when I visit a mainstream web-site, http://www.star-telegram.com; it's a newspaper so I doubt there's really anything nefarious going on there. So can somebody please respond here with a script of XSS "regular expressions" I can paste into the box under the XSS Options - Advanced tab so I can visit the noted web-site without the XSS warning? The amateurish script I guessed at doesn't work but I don't want to turn off XSS entirely. I know nothing about writing regular expressions.

I've attached (hopefully, if all goes well) a screen-shot that illustrates what I'm talking about: Image

Folks,

I probably don't need to remind you intrepid code writers responding to my challenge that: newspapers have a lot of "sub-pages" linked from the home page, these sub-pages are constantly being added as each paper's content changes, consequently there's a never-ending supply of new URLs linked from the main/home page.

The best thing would be being able to see the Tools|Console [NoScript XSS] lines produced when this happens.
I couldn't reproduce anything by browsing the site casually, however a catch-all exception expression matching all the XSS requests issued from www.star-telegram.com would be

Code: Select all
