AI suggested the following changes in RefererLogger.php:
  • Reject a referrer that isn't valid UTF-8.
  • Reject raw control characters (NUL, CR, LF, etc.) in the Referer header. Percent-encoded values such as %0A are left alone.
  • Verify that parse_url() actually produced a valid, non-empty string hostname before passing it to preg_replace(), strtolower() and the domain-ignore logic.
  • Replace substr($referrer, 0, 1000) with mb_strcut(...). This retains the original 1,000-byte limit but cannot chop a Japanese or other multibyte UTF-8 character in half. The original byte-based truncation is at line 126.
  • Validate the request URI too. This is important: getRequestUri() is also ultimately client-controlled, and the original code writes it directly into url. If a bot sends malformed UTF-8 there, you could otherwise get essentially the same MySQL 1366 error for the url column.
  • Malformed input was deliberately not "repaired." Invalid referrers are discarded; invalid request URIs are replaced with an empty value. That keeps garbage out of the statistics rather than manufacturing a valid-looking URL.
 
Painbaker updated [XB] Referer Log with a new update entry:

  • Added options to delete records with the same referer, IP address, or user from...
