Re:Another Security Hole Found On Yelp, Facebook Data Once A... by DCoder on Wednesday May 12, 2010 @03:48AM (#1340449)
Well, at least they had to try to find a hole. I've had the pleasure of maintaining a "typical PHP project" - written by someone with no clue about xss, csrf or anything else. It had an admin interface that simply returned the Location: / header to an unauthorized user without exiting. In a publicly accessible /admin folder no less. The owner only wisened up when Yahoo's spider crawled in and followed all the "delete news item" links. Yes, GET links for delete, and DB storing passwords in plain text, isn't that nice.
