PHP snippets (once again): msg#00037

Subject: PHP snippets (once again)

Dear doc team,

I looked at several snippets yesterday and to my horror many of them contain *obvious*, major security holes. I've spoken with the leader of the security team (chx) and we agreed to unpublish all obviously insecure snippets, then have a discussion based on numbers (ok vs. not ok) and how to proceed.

In the limited sample set I've reviewed until now > 50% of the snippets either

- bypass 'access' security (sometimes titles, sometimes full nodes)
- allow XSS
- allow SQL injection
- allow a combination of the above

Regards,

Heine

PS Should we decide to continue with php snippets in this way, I'll also be the one to publish them again :(
