Ok removed that.

EDIT: Yep, you can inject JS too. Apologies for the way I posted that, did make sure there was nothing personal on there (was mostly test data and people copy-pasting Wiki stuff).

I was about to mention the bad security of uploading personal documents to some guy's Heroku instance.

Instead found this a very unprofessional and destructive way to handle a bug report, and possibly illegal[1].

The site's creator Hank Stoever has his public contact information available[2].

EDIT: removed text wall and typos

Yeah, this was a very quick project and that slipped through. All fixed now. If people are interested I'd be happy to put due diligence in and put up a privacy policy!

Edit: maybe I'm an idiot and can't repro the js injection, could you link me? http://copypastecsv.herokuapp.com/pastes/8279b342

To be honest, there is not much need for a CSV host as most would just use Google Docs. It's a cool tool for hackers though.

EDIT: typos

Couldn't you say the same thing about Gist/PasteBin? Last I checked those were pretty popular...

Just a warning - that page is ~7MB and crashed Firefox for me. Still pretty sad the browser can be halted via zerg rush.

Yeah it goes on to list all pastes on the site and gives you the ability to edit, destroy or view them.
