Quick Links security issue (possibly)

Post by RJH »

I installed the quick links plugin but someone put in a link that would automatically redirect the browser to another page everytime my index page loaded. As soon as the browser got to their link in the sidebar it would redirect to some scummy sales page. I uninstalled the plugin and the problem went away. I had a very frantic half hour or so figuring this out. :-(

Hi!

You can configure the quick link plugin so that it does not allow HTML code in the "postings"!

Best regards,
