Links do not work in SWF files embedded with the Multimedia macro

XMLWordPrintable

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Open any page in Confluence
      2. Attach a SWF file with links to the page
      3. Enter Edit mode
      4. Insert a Multimedia macro and select the SWF file
      5. Save the page
      6. Run the SWF presentation and click any link

      Expected behavior

      The link should open the configured URL in a new tab.

      Actual behavior

      Nothing happens.

      Workaround

      1. Open your multimedia macro page in Chrome.
      2. Select the three dots button on the top right corner, then select "More Tools > Developer Tools".
      3. Use the inspect tool and click the Multimedia macro.
      4. Check the HTML code on the right side. Copy the whole <embed> node.
      5. Paste this code inside the HTML Macro and remove the 'allownetworking="none"' parameter.
      6. Save the page and try to open the link within the SWF presentation.

      Notes

      The issue occurs because https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-38127 was corrected, which means that performing the workaround will allow XSS.
