Looks like you need to filter out <script>alert.., and similar XSS from the input.

  Why?
  - stevekemp 2y ago
    Because otherwise visitors can be redirected / etc. e.g. http://sand.scroll.pub/xss http://sand.scroll.pub/xss
    - breck 2y ago
      That's fine. It's designed as a sandbox. I think people are good almost all of the time. And when they're not, that's why there are laws.

        Not really. Do you really have the time and money and motivation to go find a lawyer and pursue a CFAA case against someone who might be using a VPN and be from a country where the CFAA doesn't apply? Since you're trying to sell folders on https://wws.scroll.pub/ https://wws.scroll.pub/, I presume there's some sort of password protection on those, as opposed to the open instance linked. People paying $100 aren't going to like their passwords being stolen and their folder used for spam/ads/malware and nor will you.

        Say I pay the $100 asked for. I am getting a folder that I get exclusive access to update? Someone else shouldn't be able to go in and change the content? I didn't read very closely so I presume I'm getting the point of that $100 clearly. How does that folder protection work excactly?

        Great questions. For the $100, you get the rights for 10 years to update some lines in the `wws.scroll` file (which is actually currently named `readme.scroll`). Think of that file like our DNS root zone file. That's it. We don't provide hosting of your content, just the listing. (Well, we do provide free hosting here: http://hub.scroll.pub/ http://hub.scroll.pub/, but that's still quite beta) So it's similar to buying a domain name. (It is slightly different in that if you buy a folder and want to later rename it, you can, unlike domain names, where you'd have to buy another domain). Here is an example entry: id pldb www https://pldb.io source https://github.com/breck7/pldb snippets blog/All owner Breck Yunits email breck7@gmail.com registered 6/12/2024 expires 6/12/2034 rep Breck Yunits transactionId pm_1PQxCOJktJxKl0r5l24p6Zwu Once you make a purchase, a "Rep" will reach out to you (currently I am the only rep), to get the meta data you want to add. Or you could add it via pull request (https://github.com/breck7/wws/blob/main/readme.scroll https://github.com/breck7/wws/blob/main/readme.scroll). In the future, we will have more "Reps", who will get ~50% of the $100, and be responsible for helping onboard users, approving meta data updates, and ensuring folders comply with the guidelines (https://wws.scroll.pub/gettingStarted.html https://wws.scroll.pub/gettingStarted.html). When your site is part of the WWS, users of the wws can "subscribe" to your site by simply typing "wws fetch [yourFolderName]". That will download the latest compiled version of your site over git. When the user types "wws fetch", it updates all of the sites they subscribe to. So the idea is by adding your site to the WWS, you help contribute to our mission of providing every human with their own copy of humanity's best information, and you give your readers the best possible reading experience.
