Nick Belaevski updated RF-3586:
-------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 3.2.2
Assignee: Alexander Smirnov
> URLs of resources are not predictable
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: RF-3586
> URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/RF-3586
> Project: RichFaces
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.2.0, 3.1.4, 3.1.5
> Reporter: Olivier Martin
> Assigned To: Alexander Smirnov
> Fix For: 3.2.2
>
>
> The way RichFaces generates URLs for the scripts and styles is incompatible with security restrictions in a corporate world.
> When applications are deployed in production, the list of the URLs it uses has to be known : the Firewalls are configured with this "white-list" and a "black-list" forbidding URLs with ".." characters.
> For instance the following URL has several problems :
> a4j_3_1_5.GAcss/table.xcss/DATB/eAF7P..bLgAIQwM..faces
> * The prefix "a4j_3_1_5.GA" can be configured, but usually the projects don't bother to do it, thus this part is gonna change with each RichFaces release
> * The part "eAF7P..bLgAIQwM." is unpredictable, it depends on the value of the object SkinImpl.hashcode() ?!!
> * The part "eAF7P..bLgAIQwM." contains ".."' characters
> Overall we had to bypass the usual security restrictions to put an application in production, this is unacceptable.
