XSS protection in Liferay 6.1 GA1

[Cee Paxton, geändert vor 11 Jahren.]

In prior version of Liferay, XSS protection was enabled by setting the following entry in the portal-ext.properties:

xss.allow=false

In 6.1, it looks like this has been removed as a overriden property in portal-ext. How is it toggled on and off in 6.1? Is it on by default?

I think you'll right. The last comment in the following issue clearly states it has been removed:

http://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-13246

Even if that particular property has been removed., do you happen to know how to turn XSS on in 6.1?

I assume that they only removed the property and not XSS protection all together.

why would you want that ?

that property might just as well have been called

hackme=true

The question is

It doesn't appear to be on by default. How is it turned on in 6.1z

[jelmer kuperus, geändert vor 11 Jahren.]

You don't because the very notion of having such a property is retarded

Now why do you think you need to enable this property.

As is written in the issue, XSS protection should be enable by default. If it's not, can you provide us with a test case?
Also, there have been some security patches in 6.1.0GA1. Please check if XSS protection is enabled in liferay 6.1.1 GA2.
