Hi, all. Our library uses self-registration quite a bit, and I've recently stumbled upon a bug that can occur when Koha generates a random password for a user during self-registration and attempts to display it to the user since these passwords are not HTML-encoded. I have documented the bug here: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19911.
Basically, the PatronSelfRegistrationPrefillForm preference can be set so that self-registered patrons are shown their password upon creating an account. This setting is necessary at our library because we do not allow patrons to select their own passwords during self-registration due to bug 19845, https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19845. If the password that is generated randomly by Koha contains the less-than character, <, browsers think that this is the beginning of an HTML element, so the less-than character and anything after it are not displayed to the user. This means that users are not shown their full password! This screenshot illustrates what I'm describing: https://i.imgur.com/hlKpU1I.png.
