Thank you for mention this.
I didn't know it's set to false by default.

I'll fix it.

@JG, just to reduce misunderstandings, when you're talking of "KM portable", everyone will read this as Dorians "official" version. Only a few regular insiders here will realize, and only when you add rodocops name too, that you're actually talking of his customized "KM Pro" version. It may also be portable that's true, but his special version is called "Pro".

@siria I'm sorry about that, yes I'm using Rodocop's KM Pro Portable 76RC for certain tasks because I installed the version that seems actively maintained and up to date -- however I don't know if the other available versions are fixed for this unicode vulnerability because I've never installed them. Rodocop's version just works flawlessly for me, mailing services and shockwave games just fly. smiling smiley

Yes it's perfectly fine, customized with some extensions additionally to the official version, some different default settings and especially a LOT faster maintained smiling smiley My only point is to reduce misunderstandings with names.

Just saying this is NOT A BUG and NOT NEW:
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?1,100044

Talking about it 7 years ago.


The fix is as easy as have common sense. Type URLs for important sites (like banking), don't follow links, etc.

Even though it is easier to catch them with punnycode, the problem isn't in how the URL is formatted, UTF-8 or ASCII.


P.S.: no hace falta que pongas la dirección de correo para publicar mensajes. Cuando lo haces, la dirección se hace pública y eres un objectivo más fácil para los spambots.
