[RESOLVED] Mendeley Importer and NoScript

[ace28]

Thank you barbaz.

I trust that Mendeley is save enough to add an XSS exeption for it.

Could you please tell me what to write? I could click on 'unsafe reloading' every time (Idk if it is like this in the english version, I just translated it from the german edition). But it would be much more convenient to have an exeption.

This should do:

Code: Select all

^https://www\.mendeley\.com/import/

NoScript Options > Advanced > XSS

I'm not sure what you're basing that on; lots of services, including some far more popular than Mendeley, have XSS holes.

However, depending on what Mendeley actually does, there might not be much sensitive data on that domain to attack?

Thank you barbaz. The exception works this way!

Exactly. Mendeley is only saving references and scholarly PDF files. I use it to save my searches in google scholar and later it helps me to cite, applying the correct citation style. There is no sensitive data included as far as I know.

You're welcome.

BTW, would you like your guest posts in this thread put under your account?

[ace28]

Sure why not. I made this account in order to be able to edit my posts if I made a mistake again ^^' Maybe I can contribute another time in the future.

Done.
