urlShort 1.2.0 Released
Just a few minutes ago, I released the latest version of urlShort, the free open source URL shortener. It's not quite what I had planned, but it's by far the most improved version yet. Version 1.2.0 features URL previews/warning which displays the full URL that you're about to continue to, as well as offers a thumbnail image (via SnapShots).
In addition, 1.2.0 fixes two critical security holes, of both Cross Site Scripting (XSS), and an SQL Injection vulnerability. Major thanks to m0nkee at GNY.ME!, who implemented the preview functionality, and located the vulnerabilities.
To use the URL preview functionality, the user must first select to enable it by placing a cookie on their machine. Our own urlShort service has been updated with these changes (enable URL previews).
