Imgur.com exploit that allowed arbitrary JavaScript to be embedded

15 points by forgotmypassw ↗ HN
Apparently there was some bug on imgur.com that allowed people to upload arbitrary JavaScript appended to the images. imgur.com seems to have acknowledged the issue already[0]. The exploit found was targetting an imageboard called 8chan[1]. There are also a few threads on 4chan about this[2][3][4][5].
