User annotation content (
e->annotation->str) was being interpolated directly into thevalue=query parameter of thepassagestudy.jspURL in bothGTKChapDisp::display()andDialogChapDisp::display()without URL encoding.While basic HTML characters like
<,>,"were escaped, URI-significant characters such as&,=,#,+, and%passed through unmodified. A crafted annotation like&module=EvilMod&passage=EvilRefcould inject arbitrary URL parameters.Applied
g_uri_escape_string()to the annotation value before embedding it into the href attribute in both locations.
