Strange Error Message on Win 7 OS

2406 Views 12 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  Herringbone
A colleague running under Win 7 OS has been getting a strange error message...

"NO SCRIPT WARNING
No Script detected a potential cross-site Scripting Attack
from: https.//s.yimg.com to https: //s-us web.dotomi.com
Suspicious data:
(url) https://s-usweb.dotomi.com/ renderer/ubr/13.0.2/ubr-wrapper.htm#d"

Seems to be related to Facebook log-on problem. He got locked out of it, FB told him someone in PA was trying to log into his FB account, he should change his PW. He did, but still getting that error message....

A hack-attack?

Does it come up all the time or only when accessing a certain site? Does the same thing happen with another browser? Have they ran any Anti-Virus scans, etc. Reset their browser.

Are they using the latest version of Firefox. I have read a little bit about it showing this error
Comes up when using Firefox to access Facebook. Hasn't tried another
browser. He's run AV scans with no bad results yet.
Okay that sounds like what I have read. See below and some have fixed by Resetting Firefox? If it only happens with Firefox then that is probably the issue. If I find any more out I will let you now.

XSS attacks are used by inputting code into something like a textbox or login window and receiving a different reply.
The reply itself doesn't always lead to something bad, but it could give away info regarding the server that could be used to someone malicious' advantage.

It seems you're getting the message due to a redirect that wasn't supposed to happen.

Checking on that....

Ok, that is probably the issue then. Google is our friend here you go

You are Welcome. Please let us know if that helped and mark thread solved
I would totally ignore the warnings and just let no script keep blocking it
That is just an advert trying to insert itself via yahoo using a different base domain for the adverts scripts

Noscript is doing its job, let it keep on doing it
If you don't like or want these alerts the turn them off inside noscript settings, but if you are using the new FF 57 & new noscript V10, then good luck to you as the settings are now such a mess that you need an advanced degree in bio-mechanical rocket science with a side order of fermat's theorem to be able to do anything in FF 57
