SMF Forum Exploit?
« on: January 05, 2006, 12:11:30 am »
It seems that you can fake the "last edit" tag, as I will demonstrate in this thread shortly :)

<edit> It should appear to be edited by Newby!

How is this done?

How is this meaningful, other than significant in the coding perspective?

It's done with a clever trick I discovered, thanks to Ergot, in fact. 

The only real use of it is that you can frame somebody, or you can edit somebody else's post (as a moderator) without anybody knowing who edited the post.  This isn't major, but it can be useful in some cases.

Is this where you change your display name, edit something, and post?

That's old, I did this on vL a while ago.

EDIT -- Notice the dot after my name? Yep. That's how I can tell it's either the same thing I've done or it's something totally new, seeing as how Ergot's one post was edited by "iago" and not "iago." :O!

And apparently the second coming of Christ has occured, he's edited my post!

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

To most, the "." after the name looks like it's ending the sentence :P

Post, change your name, edit that post, then change your name back.

While this really isn't that big of a deal, I don't really see the point in them not implementing something to prevent it.

I personally think having the ability for the users to change their display name is stupid.  That's really the only problem I have with SMF, other than that, it's great software.

I love it. It keeps them from making new accounts!

And you can disable name changing, which IIRC I had to enable again. :P

If you need to change your name enough to where it's a serious need/want (like you've actually changed your handle), I think it would be easier to just request that an admin/mod change it.  That way you also avoid all of the extra complications that you get due to the ability to freely change it.

I fully agree, and people were changing their display names to dumb things just to abuse the fact that it's annoying (Warrior comes to mind).  I really wish I could have turned it off, but ohwell.  Ergot also changed his to something annoying this week, but he found it got changed back on its own (*gasp*)!

But for this actual problem, it seems like it would make more sense storing the user_id of the last editor, not the username..
