Adobe Captivate 6 XSS Errors with scormdriver.js

Using Adobe Captivate 6.0.1.240 and getting critical issue errors from Fortify scans by our security group. Does anyone know of a solution? I haven't been able to see issues in google queries and in the forums. --thanks
EXAMPLE
scormdriver.js, line 1032 (Cross-Site Scripting: DOM)
Fortify Priority: Critical Folder Critical
Kingdom: Input Validation and Representation
Abstract: The method WriteToDebug() in scormdriver.js sends unvalidated data to a web
browser on line 1032, which can result in the browser executing malicious code.

This looks like the code that outputs all the SCORM calls to a debug file (if the user invokes debug mode).
Dave's solution is probably the best one.  You could make this change in the scormdriver.js template in the Captivate install directory, but make sure you keep a backup copy of the unchanged file in case you ever need to debug something with your LMS.

  • Adobe Captivate 6 Error when publishing

    Help!  I having trouble publishing a training that my employees can view.  When they open the project they are getting the first image here that is essentially blank.  I have attempted to reduce the size and save to different folders etc. but nothing seems to work. 

    Hi there,
    Could you tell me the complete version of Captivate (Help > About Adobe Captivate).  6.0.1.240
    Which version of Adobe Reader or Acrobat are they using?  Adobe Reader XI
    Can you publish this locally on your system (not to network drive directly), check force republish option also, and are you able to view it on your end?  I can pull up the file from my computer that is saved in the same drive that the agents are attempting to pull up.  But, I am not sure if it is viewing for me because I have it on my system.

  • Adobe Captivate 4 errors out on recording

    Hi,
    I am a long time user of Captivate and have been using Captivate 4 since it came out.  I am running a Dell Precision Workstation M6400 with 3GB RAM, Windows XP Pro with SP 3, Intel 2.6 gHz processor.  I also have the latest patches for Windows and Captivate installed.
    I am a heavy user of Captivate.  In fact a day does not go by that I am not using it.  I have been working on a project for a client.  I was able to shoot about 45 slides, edit the text captions, and added some audio.  I saved the project, closed it, and exited Captivate.  When I came back from lunch, I started Captivate, opened the project, entered Edit mode, selected the last slide (45) in my project and hit the record button to capture some additional slides.  I captured about 10 more slides and ended the recording process.
    I got the progress window saying the slides were importing and then I get the old "Captivate has experienced an error and will now close" error.
    I have recreated the preferences, uninstalled and reinstalled Captivate 4 - 3 times, applied the lastest Captivate patch 3 times, repaired the registry table, and did all the system disk utilities I have.  I have a very fast and clean running laptop, but Captivate 4 still generates the same error.  I can no longer record either for an existing project or a new one.  The error always occurs after a recording session, regardless of the recording type.  During the importing of slides, it bombs out.
    All my projects are in Captivate 4, so I can't even go back to an earlier version.  Anyone else having a similar problem.  My projects are gonna go overdue  if I can't get this fixed.  Any help from anyone would be awesome.  I am willing to try anything at this point.  I am attaching the detailed error report that it sends to Microsoft.

    Hello eLearner68,
    I am very sorry to hear that you have experienced this issue with Adobe Captivate 4. In this first instance I would suggest that you review the technote I have included below.

  • Adobe Captivate Exception Error After Recording

    I am using Adobe Captivate 4 to record tutorials from a website (the tutorials are showing how to use a website) and keep getting the following message after completing a recording:
    "The exception unknown software exception (0xc0000409) occurred in the application at location 0x02d13782" then the program terminates completely.  The file allows you to record but after you click on the file in the taskbar to import the recording it errors out then closes.  
    The tutorials are being recorded on a website using a Dell machine that exceeds the hardware requirements, has Windows XP SP3 with recent updates, and IE7 with recent updates.  The files are HUGE in size so I am wondering if that might be the problem.  One tutorial (.cp file) might be anywhere from 20MB up.  I have all of the audio and recording settings set to low so my question is how are these files growing so large in size, and is that the reason I keep getting the exception error?  Thanks in advance!

    I too am getting this error on a couple of my Captivate (4) files.  It occurs if I try to insert (eg click box) or import (eg Powerpoint files).
    Files aren't particularly big - about 2 MB - and are one of many similar files in a project so can't understand why this is occurring - but is frustrating as I can't do anything with the file any longer - even if I try to open past versions I get the same error if I try to insert/import
    Would appreciate any comments on why this may be occurring.

  • Adobe Captivate 6 problem with Review area text on Quiz results page

    Hi,
    I am using Adobe Captivate 6 and I have a test at the end of my project with the built in 'Quiz results page' at the end.
    However, the standard 'review area' provided always seems to play up for me. I have changed the 'quiz results messages' through the preferences and changed the font of the review area, but everytime I play my project the message displayed is in a different font that I did not set and the size is so large that the sentence goes off the screen. It has done this on numerous projects.
    I have changed the font of the review area and it shows up on my normal view, but everytime I preview the project or publish it, the font changes back to a strange default.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this?
    Thank you.

    Hannah,
    That is a very well-known bug in the last Captivate versions... if you screen these forums you'll find multiple threads complaining about it. Some fonts will work, I think Calibri works (not all styles however) and all the other fonts revert to Times New Roman. I'm a bit puzzled that you call it a 'strange default'.

  • Is adobe captivate 7 compatable with OS X Yosemite?

    I have a new Adobe Captivate 7 and after I installed it, the icon will bounce 3 or 4 times and then close. it will not run at all. I have a Macbook pro retina. Is adobe captivate compatable with OS X Yosemite?

    HI Phillip,
    Captivate 7 does work with Yosemite but it is not tested with Restina Display. Can you try to install Captivate 8 trial version and see if you are getting the same issue?

  • Adding an Adobe Captivate 4 file with external links to Moodle

    Hi - Does anyone know how to upload an adobe captivate 4 file so external links within the published adobe cp file open when playing in moodle?   I have attached a wmv video that does not open.  Also I have attached a swf Raptivity file that does not open. 
    Thanks, Sandra

    The wvx file is only really a small text file containing something like this code:
    <ASX VERSION="3.0">
    <ENTRY>
      <REF HREF="myvideo.wmv" />
    </ENTRY>
    </ASX>
    It seems to just make Windows Media Player happier when loading  wmv file for some reason.  I had to resort to using this file at one client site running an IIS web server. You point your link in Captivate at the wvx file, which then loads the video.  The wvx file can have quite a lot of other code inside it to do fancy stuff.  But that's not essential.
    If your question is now answered, please mark it at the top.

  • Adobe Captivate 5 : Pb with registration

    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    May be you have formatted your previous computer without deactivating Adobe Captivate 5.5 from it.
    Can you share your serial number at [email protected] ,so that i can check it for you ?

  • Adobe Media Encoder Error with MPEG2 Formats [../../src/Command.cpp-2519]

    I am trying to use some of my presets using MPEG2 format and it is giving me this error: [/Volumes/BuildDisk/builds/ame602_mac/main/app/frontend/prj/mac/../../src/Command.cpp-251 9]. I try the system presets that use MPEG2 and I get the same error. I notice if I try to make a new preset, I do not even have the option to choose MPEG2. I only get MPEG4 or MPEG4 (Legacy). I am using AME 7.0.2; if anyone has an idea on why I can't use MPEG2 please let me know.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Captivate 5 - Problem with scoring with Quiz exported to PDF

    Hello,
    I have created several review quizzes that have been exported to pdf and uploaded to the internet. They are elementary school quizzes that are listed on a canned school web hosting site that only allows uploads in common formates such as Microsoft Word and pdf.
    I tested these pdf quizzes with no problems and from my  computers they still work fine; however some people are having problems with the scoring element. Some - not all questions are not tabulated correctly in the end review section. I have been told that the questions were answered correctly but the end review showed some questions as wrong or not answered. The quizzes are reveiw only and no reporting or LMS is used.
    Has anyone else seen this? I had a feeling that perhaps the adobe reader was at fault, but so far everyone is using reader version 9.
    One of the quizzes can be found here.. http://www.germantownschools.org/faculty/jwoger/4th_math_topic_1_quiz[1].pdf
    Tim

    Hi,
    I have since my initial post been told that certain elements of the quiz slides are also not working. Correct answers have a sound clip that plays when the "correct" option is selected.  This is not working for some users. Like I said I have no problem with the pdf quiz from any  of the computers I use and don't know why it doesn't work for others.

  • Adobe captivate 7 PPT with question answer problem....

    when a question is answered incorrectly such as Question #2, it returns to slide #8, after it goes through slide #8 it repeats question #1.  Can we make sure it never repeats a question that has been answered correctly? ( Adobe captivate7 ) Please solve this issue...

    Welcome to the forum,
    Since you didn't get an answer after 2 days, this probably means that your question is puzzling users, not explained in detail? Can you give more details? Are you using normal question slides, and perhaps the Submit all functionality? Or is this happening in a second Quiz attempt? What is slide 8? Is it a content slide? 
    Question/score slide are much less controllable than normal slides.

  • Adobe Viewer iPad Error - with iPad Screen Grab

    I've followed the tutorial to create a interactive publication:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/tutorials/digitalpubsuite_tutorials.pdf
    I installed the Adobe Viewer on my iPad and signed in. I can see the "City Guide Monthly" publication as an icon in the viewer but when I then click on the Download button I get an error as shown in the screen grab below. Any ideas why? It all previews fine on my Mac.

    The Viewer on iTunes has not been updated yet. This an Apple issue since they take forever to approve everything.
    You'll need to wait a bit until they get around to it.
    BTW, there's dedicated forum for DPS. Please post follow up messages there.
