O boy. Yet another CPhog oddity.

WARNING: DONT TRY WHAT I DESCRIBED UNLESS YOU WANT TO KILL CP SERVERS. AT LEAST, DONT ALL TRY THIS AT ONCE. And a pretty bad one at that. Take any thread in the Lounge (may work with other forums, but I didnt dare try after it happened to me in the Lounge). See the "View Thread" button? Click it. A page opens, with that thread. Now, look up in the address bar. See the "tid" query parameter? Change it to something that wouldn't appear in the Lounge. Such as "1". SO you will have something like http://codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?fid=1159&tid=1 Now click on the refresh button added by CPhog to the top of the forum (near the "New Message" link, except more centered). And...WATCH AS ALL THE LOUNGE MESSAGES START LOADING. THIS IS MADNESS!!! I hope CP servers dont take too much of a hit cause of this :~

Instead of posting an issue/vulnerability like this in a public place, why not just e-mail it to Chris? That way he has a chance to deal with it, instead of the DOS attacks from the juvenile trolls and script kiddies who like to piss on everything.

I don't use CPhog (I use IE). The problem sounded like an issue with the query parameter handling implemented by CP, rather than CPhog's use of it. If the bug is actually in CPhog, then of course Shog9 should hear about it.

Nice use of the Superscript and colouration there. It's the little touches like this that define a post.

Thanks :-\. It's the online version of pronouncing someone's name correctly. I just think it's the polite thing to do.

"On one of my cards it said I had to find temperatures lower than -8. The numbers I uncovered were -6 and -7 so I thought I had won, and so did the woman in the shop. But when she scanned the card the machine said I hadn't. "I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher - not lower - than -8 but I'm not having it." -Tina Farrell, a 23 year old thicky from Levenshulme, Manchester.

Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop. -- Matthew Faithfull
