Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: RFC: Security policy for OpenACS (Security hole in OpenACS 5.1!)

Jonathon suggested that POST-only checking is enough even with Javascript.

Of course if you allow javascript, then you can issue multiple document.write statements to build a form and then submit that form.

If you forceably eliminate javascript, then post only checking should be sufficient? It's certainly more easily do-able than the other suggestions.

I also like Jonathon's method of putting a big ns_rand into an nsv of allowed "keys" and popping it out in the relevant admin pages.

Let's keep it simple if we can!
