Hi :)
Is writing an article on an Exploit/Vulnerability allowed ?
|
|
|
|
|
In my opinion... it depends a lot of the target of the article.
If it is clearly technical and you explain about the exploit and how to solve it, I would be happy to read it.
But if you only explain how to take profit from it, then I would report it as abuse.
I hope you understand the difference I mean
But... The last words are on CP Staff.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Much like a Jedi, you can only write such articles for defense, never for attack.

Thanks for clarifying.
yes it is a white hat article with solutions, I raised it to facebook security apparently they think it is a non issue and poses no tangible security risk 
I felt like hitting my head on the wall and migrating to mars when i heard that response .
so should be safe to publish to create awareness for those who value there privacy and get feed back from the community whether they think its an issue worth fixing.
Cheers

Fixed.
Looks like that was a left-over from a formatting issue we had ages ago. I just touched the article and it fixed itself up.

this[^] is showing the code snippets almost without format.

Let say I have an article, current revision number is 100. I went to update it, and obviously the next revision number will be 101. After I submit, the article will go through the approval process. The reviewers/moderator will look at it and pick an option from "Approve or report this article:" section.
My question is, as a reviewer/moderator, how can I compare/tell what the changes/update between version 100 and 101? Since version 101 is not listed under Articles » Platforms, Frameworks & Libraries » Libraries » General » Revisions during the approval/review process.

Hmmm. I don't believe you currently can from the system itself. I use an text compare site, personally.

Interesting point.
What you're after is a "compare with published" button, right?

Can't you do it with the versions revision?

The current version revision do not provide the option to compare the published version and the one being submitted for review.
|
|
|
|

But the submitted for review (101) does offer the option to compare it with the current (100) if you go to "revisions (100)" (left side menu), then you see a list starting in 101 where 100 has the label current, if you don't see all versions you can go to "show minor changes" and it usually makes the list bigger.
Then you select the two you want to compare and click on "compare"
I use it sometimes to detect possible abusers making "updates" to gain more attention and keep their articles in the home page

Interesting. I can't figure out how you did that. Here is an example. Refer to the image below.
For this particular article, the Revision 21 is Available (status = Available) to the public. Then the author make some changes to it (Revision 22), and the article go through approval process.
During the approval/review process, I don't see version 22 in the Revisions table. My curiosity is to identify the difference between Revision 21 and 22 during the process.
After the approval/review process is finalize, now the version 22 is available under revisions table. But that after the fact.
publicly available vs pending[^]

Any plan to implement the "compare with published" button anytime soon?

This[^] could use a format correction.
