Frontend Users security issue?
Posted: Tue Dec 05, 2006 2:58 am
As I was trying to figure out what is causing my FEU users not to expire and what is causing me to get an "Incorrect datetime value" error when I try to create an FEU user, I realized that the URL that is passed from page to page during the creation process contains the password that I entered for the user. I'm not a programmer (which is why I love the simplicity of CMSMS), but it seems to me that this isn't good. For example, here's a URL from the page where you enter the values for the selected properties for a user (the last step before the user is actually created):
http://mywebsite.com/cmsms/admin/module ... ast=mylast name&m1_hidden_cmsms_userid=cmsms_userid%3B0%3B5%3B2%3B5&m1_input_cmsms_userid=mycmsmsuserid&m1_hidden_email=email%3B2%3B40%3B2%3B40&m1_input_email=myemailaddress&m1_step1_params=input_username%3Dmyusername%26input_password%3Dmypassword%26input_repeatpassword%3Dmypassword%26expiresdate_Month%3D12%26expiresdate_Day%3D4%26expiresdate_Year%3D2007%26memberof_1%3D1%26submit%3DNext%26input_expiresdate%3D1196744400%26action%3Ddo_adduser2&m1_submit=Next&m1_input_username=myusername&m1_input_password=mypassword&m1_input_repeatpassword=mypassword&m1_expiresdate_Month=12&m1_expiresdate_Day=4&m1_expiresdate_Year=2007&m1_memberof_1=1&m1_input_expiresdate=1196744400&m1_error=1&m1_message=Incorrect%20datetime%20value%3A%20%27%272006-12-04%2021%3A38%3A55%27%27%20for%20column%20%27createdate%27%20at%20row%201
(I replaced the actual url, username, password, etc, with "mywebsite", "my password", etc)
Would like to hear comments from those who are smarter than I are
