Harry Metske commented on JSPWIKI-633:
--------------------------------------

I am a bit confused about what you are considering a bug.

Is it the replacement of {noformat}>{noformat} by {noformat}>{noformat}  , 
or the fact that we don't call ReplaceEntities during page rename ?

We do the replaceEntities for security reasons on input fields like changnote, 
where bad guys coud stick in something like 
{noformat}<script>alert('XSS')</script>{noformat}

While renaming a page, you cannot enter a changenote or something else that 
contains user-supplied input.
Can you describe what change you think is necessary ?

> When editing a page, you can enter the changenote.
> Edit.jsp, Line 45:
> String changenote = TextUtil.replaceEntities( findParam( pageContext, 
> "changenote" ) );
> RecentChangePlugin.java, Line 217
> row.addElement( new td(changenote != null ? 
> TextUtil.replaceEntities(changenote) : "").setClass("changenote") );
> So the entities of the text entered via Edit.jsp are replaced twice.
> PageRenamer.java Lines 139 and 206:
> p.setAttribute( WikiPage.CHANGENOTE, fromPage.getName()+" ==> 
> "+toPage.getName() );
> TextUtil.replaceEntities is not called.
