Mavo

Post by therube »

Enough already.
I've got to ask.

Just what is a Mavo script/expression?
And what makes it so (potentially) bad?

(Not that I would know, but search turns up this and a bunch of obviously-irrelevant stuff - https://mavo.io/)
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!

If you're referring to the v5.0.5 changelog entry, then I'm guessing that Mavo (yes, mavo.io), which allows editing of pages via a browser, uses specific syntax to represent changes to pages. And that syntax would (naturally) allow a page to be changed in a way that would insert scripts. And since it's not normal HTML, it would previously have bypassed the XSS filter.
