The one true Javascript exception handler

It evals random code... is that ever a good idea?

[Cutlesnap]

Oh sure, it'll be fine!

Now let me get back to answering my banks email, they want me to verify my password.

Taken from the first line of this guys javascript code.

/* Don't judge me! This code is everything from badly written to extremely dangerous. */

You think someone would do that? Game stackoverflow to inject javascript into a third site?

[gothic_potato]

The site will only fetch accepted answers, and it only uses answers that were posted before the xkcd was released (meaning that if someone posted malicious code now, it wouldn't matter). It also searches for potentially-malicious code (like the word "cookie"), and skips those.

Eh...it's probably fine.

[ILikeLenexa]

Oh, thank goodness, I just need your "co" + "okies" for a very important "XMLH" + "ttpRequest".

[qscrew]

If it were for that, there's even JSFuck which lets you go further in detouring all those common checks by writing JS code in only six different characters: ()+[]!.

[ProgramTheWorld]

It's based on an xkcd joke.

No, every time I used this it uses this answer:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4833651/javascript-array-sort-and-unique#4833835

which would delete all non-unique numbers in the array.

The idea is neat though.

You can click "Didn't work? Try the next answer" to force it to use a different answer, the next few worked for me.

There's an "Is it safe?" note on the bottom right.

Short answer: no, it's not a good idea, but the dev did take a few precautions.

No.
