Update NuGet packages with more secure registration of handlers #270

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Start Visual Studio 2010
2. Add a new ASP.NET Web Application project
3. Using NuGet, add the elmah[1] package (v1.2.0.1 at the time of this 
reporting)
4. Build the solution
5. Navigate to elmah.axd under the web application root to get the error log 
display
6. Navigate to foobar/elmah.axd under the web application root

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected step 6 to produce a 404. Instead, the error log is displayed.

The registered path for the handler (i.e. elmah.axd in the default 
configuration) should be the only way to reach the error log display and feeds. 
Having more than one path requires more work and care to secure using built-in 
authorization mechanisms, especially when remote access is enabled. The default 
configuration should be updated according the newer[2] guidelines found at the 
SecuringErrorLogPages wiki[3] so as to enable users to fall into the "pit of 
success".
