Hello there,
I recently found a bug with Discourse which allows the character limit to be bypassed.
For example, if the character limit is 30 characters, you could put a 30 character HTML tag such as
<thisisanonsensehtmltaglongerthanthirtycharacters>
In a post’s body, which would hide the tag and create a post with no visible body, or a body which is truncated.
I suppose that we use a check which only allows for real html tags to be used. Providing an error if it’s invalid.
I’m not too sure if this is known although upon some searching I couldn’t find a similar topic.
The first reply to this topic is an example blank post.
