Certain words are taboo?
I'm admittedly not a ZenCart expert by any means, but I've worked with ZenCart off and on for a couple years. Today I ran into a situation with ver. 1.3.0.1 that took a bit of detective work to figure out what was happening.
I was adding a new product for my client. For the product description, I copy/pasted the following text:
"Beautiful glass heart contains a full 16 ounces of triple scented blended soy wax. This candle is made with 3 wicks and can be chunked upon request for an additional $1.00 per candle."
After completing the page, I clicked PREVIEW and got an error, something about the server not accepting a connection and my firewall reporting an attempted worm intrusion.
Not sure what was happening, I scanned my computer for a problem. Nothing. I then went to the website and looked for evidence of a hacker. Nothing. I looked at my config files for ZenCart, nothing unusual.
Then, on a hunch, I tried to re-enter this product and it's description. Warning flags happened again. Next I tried typing in garbage words thinking that maybe my copy/paste from another source was bringing in the problem. The product was accepted.
Then I tried typing the real description one word at a time, after each word I would hit PREVIEW.
Lo and behold, the problem showed up when I entered the word "Chunked". If I type just "Chunk", it's okay. But, the whole word "Chunked" was creating the problem.
Now my question is, are there other such words that I need to be mindful of? Is there documentation about this? And, why wasn't ZenCart programmed to deactivate but pass through words like that which I assume a hacker would use.
Just curious.
