Free items from Alfheim Portal

Playing with Botania r1.9-339, I have found a way to get items for free from the Alfheim Portal. I won't post the steps here since it's an exploit.

If this is an unknown exploit, I can send email with steps.

The Schrödinger's end user, wanting an bug fixed, but not helping fixing it.

Cute, but no. If I didn't want to help fix the exploit, I'd keep it to myself and abuse it. Then I could build with blocks of elementium and dragonstone because, hey, free stuff!

I'm a software tester by nature and profession, so when I spotted two cross-site scripting bugs at work this week, I notified security that there were exploits on a specific page visible to the public. One of the security team dropped by so I could demonstrate what I had found. One exploit was known, but the second was not. So I typed that one up in our internal bug-tracking database, but I encrypted it so only the security team could see it. It's a few more hoops than a normal bug, but publicly announcing an exploit, even internally, is a stupid and fireable act.

So I'll let this sit here until someone is assigned this issue. Then I'll explain privately how the exploit is done so it can be fixed.
