Bug 88002 – XSSAuditor bypass with leading /*///*/ comment

• Component: WebCore Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Thomas Sepez]

Originally reported by k3170makan at http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=130594

query string: ?name=%3Cscript%3E/*///*/alert(1);%3C/script%3E
reflected vector: <script>/*///*/alert(1);</script>

[Thomas Sepez]

Off by two.  The block:

else if (startsMultiLineCommentAt(string, startPosition)) {
            if ((foundPosition = string.find("*/", startPosition)) != notFound)
                startPosition = foundPosition + 2;

is matching /*/ as a complete comment, which it's not.  Then when we look at the next characters, we see // which we interpret as a single line comment -- but the JS parser doesn't.
