How can I add iframe to the blocked scripts?

Hi all: I recently had some not very nice person posting iframe redirects in my forums.

Does anyone know how I can add <IFRAME> to the bad script list?

What should'nt be possable? The bad guy posting the Iframe? Or adding <Iframe> to the list of nasties?

Here is what they posted on my site:

Code:

<img src="modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Very Happy" border="0" /> <iframe width="100%" height="350" src="http://www.NAME-CHANGED.com/"></iframe></td>

<iframe width="100%" height="350" src="http://www.NAME-CHANGED.com/"></iframe>

Well, my forums are not that old, they are 2.0.13

And I do not believe that any newer version of PHPbb will address this, but please correct me if I am wrong.

Pretty sure the Patched files should block iframes. Mmm phpBB, I believe there are some validation fixes in later versions. You really should not be using anything less than 2.0.17 (which is a part of the Patched files)

Do you know of anyone that could bring it up to the current version by applying the changes, not over writting the the current files? (I am heavy on mods). I would certainly be willing to pay for this. BTW, my nuke is 7.6 and I think it has the #3 patch, if you know what I mean.

I could do it.. it would take a lot of time really with a file difference program

No idea what #3 patch is. Are you talking about the Patched files?

If you are sure iframes aren't being blocked with the Patched files, let me know and I'll try and duplicate it.

Please read the PM I sent you earlier.

By #3, what I mean is, shortly after 7.6 came out there was a 1, 2 and then a #3 patch. I am fairly certain that I have the number 3 patch.

I know that the iframes are not being block with my current site version, it just happened to me yesterday.

I look forward to your reply to my PM.

The more I think about it, I do have a mod installed that allows for the posting of video's, streaming content, flash, images... I wonder if that is what is allowing the iframe to get through.
