they didn't release any official info (because there's probably none with valve in charge), so i'll go safe and wait a few days before going back to trading and stuff.

It's safe as normal now though, confirmed by SteamDB and others.

Yup, it appears that way. Emoticons were part of what was causing the exploit, so removing them from profile summaries means the exploit can't be done anymore.

What part exactly is considered the profile summary? Because ...

After you edit your profile showcase and click save, emoticons will be gone, and will be shown like :skyelaugh:

Here's the catch: The first emoticon (:squirtheh:) was in there for months, the second one (:squirtyay:) was just edited in after I read the messages above.

Well yeah seems that, my :borderlands2: emoticon is not showing, but the :vault: still does, didn't notice before. I only noticed that my showcase description was no longer showing emoticons after edit, so I supposed all emoticons are affected, but seems not, maybe there is a character number limitation?

as sviat basically said, it's only on edit that the emotes will no longer show up. For an example, view my profile, you can see that :B1: is not parsed as an emote.

i just checked my profile. surgeon simulator emoticons are not showing up but goat simulator emoticon is still there. how come? any idea? :|

I actually can't say for certain, I don't know myself, but if I had to guess? It could be to do with the :ss13brain: emotes being within formatting tags, while the Goat Simulator one is not.

Probably, it hasn't been fixed all. I've found other bugs on a page created by him. Don't be too relaxed. Strange thing happened, it reminded me when I was young and beautiful.

It has been fixed. Any other bugs, might not have been. Any other bugs, are not as serious, unless you can show me why they are. The emotes were key to causing this exploit, and aren't in place on forums or profiles anymore.

What do you know about other bugs? don't be conceited. I can tell you that a page created by him is bugged and visibly bugged. Bugs are bugs and Steam can tell you if they are serious or not not me. I have no interest to investigate about this to tell you it.
PS. In the meantime seems it has been fixed too.

I don't know about other bugs, hence "not as serious, unless you can show me where they are". I was asking you to impart your information if you had any. I know there aren't any other major ones that are public knowledge right now, and that's all I can tell anyone.

Wow... that's heavy. No virus or fake links needed, just your own profile.
Good it's fixed now.

I think if you add a ~~ it does the strikethrough on your message.
let's test

...Thanks. I was using Steam's markup, not Steamgifts, I didn't even notice until now.

No worries. I had to look it up to be sure. Thought it was single ~ at first, but apparently that's how you spoiler things.

Good to ear that this issue was fixed since i read your post i keep away from chechking any profile link :?

Just a major heads up, but there's a huge security flaw that was just exposed, allowing people to execute code on profiles. So far I've only seen one profile that can do this, but it can comment for you, it can load iframes, and it can play youtube videos. It will fuck up your notifications.DO NOT LINK THESE PROFILES IN THE FORUMS, IN CHAT, OR ANYWHERE.
Issue has been fixed. Profiles are now safe again.
