Title:
  XSS in URI attributes in the externalfeed block

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Fix Released
Status in Mahara 1.3 series:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I have following "Item"-snippet at RSS-feed:

      <item>
          <title>PS3 and Lara Croft</title>
                  <pubDate>Wed, 29 Sep 2010 18:44:15 +0300</pubDate>
          <description>Description</description>
          <link>javascript:alert(1)</link>
                  <guid>javascript:alert(1)</guid>
                  <comments>http://www.example.net/7606/#comments</comments>
      </item>

  When the link is created for RSS-item, guid with javascript: -protocol
  is left as such. So attacker can create group, link own carefully
  crafted RSS-feed, load it to one Group page, and when user clicks news
  item from it, XSS is executed.
