This tasks addressed validation or encoding of the parameters used during registration and login.

  • Registration parameters are now all entity encoded. Previously there was some encoding done, but it was insufficient to block all XSS paths.
  • The xss path during login was in the generation of an error message. That path is now blocked.

No further administrator action is needed.
