eval() an obfuscated piece of code from the web, what could possibly go wrong?

emillon• 12 years ago

Evaluating javascript from the web is what your browser does when loading a page.

Piskvorrr2• 12 years ago

To nitpick, no it doesn't: there's some difference between "evaluation" and "interpretation;" not to mention JS scopes and such :)

However, "load, parse and execute this resource, statically referenced in a SCRIPT tag" doesn't raise quite as many red flags as "execute this _obfuscated_ code".

Sure, you could de-obfuscate it (as someone already did in the discussion) and check that it doesn't do anything nasty (e.g. "like" a few dozen pages for you); but the decision is heavily weighted towards "eh, don't bother."

You can decode the base64. :-) I had a look inside and I don't see anything suspicious, just some css manipulation.
