Anyone else having problems embedding images from 3rd party hosting sites? I usually use cube upload to post here but for a while now the fetch happens without issue and the embed function works but I'm getting 'Image is a redirect or missing!' error. I wonder if there is a bad http redirect or something going on?

Thanks, Pekka. Sorry for the delay. I'm attempting to paste the URL into the thread but the preview and post is showing (URL: Blacklisted URL removed) as below.

So that is the reason the URL won't embed, we have blacklisted that domain. It appears that they allowed uploading executable files with image extension, which has been used as malware delivery. Recent comments there still confirm this, even if they claim they have fixed this:
https://blog.cubeuploa​d.com/2017/10/malwareb​ytes-blocking/ which means I won't remove it from our blacklist yet.

Ok. That certainly solves my mystery. Thanks for looking into it. Much appreciated.

Thanks from all of us here, Pekka, for your attention to security.

The CubeUpload response is amazingly negligent. "In due course we will be going through the catalogue of uploaded images to track down any remaining hack files so we can delete them and ban the uploaders." To me that translates as "Since we give no a rip about end users . . . "
