NoScript v10: XSS Warning and Suspicious data: window.name

Post by daniel4859 »

Hello. I decided to create a new thread about NoScript XSS Warning, because of a [FIXED] mark for a previous one (see; "[FIXED] Constant XSS Warnings"). I just don't know if Mr Maone saw my post about window.name type of suspicious data etc. So, here it's:

Mr Maone, you have written, that "Some or all of these issues (those with the "TypeError: ic is undefined" message) should be fixed...", right? However, I would like to write about one more type of such a warning. It's about google.com website and detected a potential Cross-Site Scripting Attack. Lets see:

Code: Select all

NoScript XSS Warning

    NoScript detected a potential Cross-Site Scripting attack
    from [...] to https://google.com.
    Suspicious data:
    window.name

                     (o) Sanitize this request
                     ( ) Always block document requests from [...] to https://google.com
                     ( ) Allow this request
                     ( ) Always allow document requests from [...] to https://google.com
As we can see, above popup warning window is different from those mentioned earlier in mentioned thread etc. (see; "[FIXED] Constant XSS Warnings"). In this case suspicious data is: 'window.name' (not 'TypeError: ic is undefined') and there is an option to 'Sanitize this request' (instead of 'Block this request') etc.

A couple of weeks ago, I've had such a situation with NoScript XSS Warning. One with Suspicious data ('TypeError: ic is undefined,(URL)', which is now fixed; see; "[FIXED] Constant XSS Warnings" thread) and second one with a different data, which is mentioned above.

So, I would like to ask Mr Maone if window.name issue is also fixed in latest Development version? I'm aksing, because vincentadultman user had wrote, that he reproduced this error on qubes-os.org website.
