Alexander Lehmann commented on JBEHAVE-654:
-------------------------------------------
instead of updating the status window, an exception shows up:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.ClassCastException:
javax.swing.JLabel cannot be cast to javax.swing.text.JTextComponent
> LocalFrameContextView is succeptible to something like XSS (not a security
> issue though)
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JBEHAVE-654
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JBEHAVE-654
> Project: JBehave
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Web Selenium
> Affects Versions: web-3.4.3
> Reporter: Alexander Lehmann
> Priority: Minor
>
> the status display in org.jbehave.web.selenium.LocalFrameContextView is
> constructing a html string for the current step by concatenating the strings
> with html tags, this will not work if the step itself contains html tags or
> javascript fragments.
> This doesn't cause any real issues but it makes the current step fail, in
> essence this is an injection error (if this were in a web application, this
> would be sufficient for a xss bug).
> I noticed this when writing an example xss story for my project, for now I
> just commented out the offending steps, I will submit a patch when I get
> around to on the weekend.
