Hey,
This is a follow on post for these posts.
I know that the implementation was unnecessary, buy I stumbled upon another application that has a script injection, and I seized the opportunity to show the monstrous proportions this simple problem can grow to. Also, this time, since I am in IST, I could also show off the hack to friends :)
The application under the scanner this time is TooStep Biz, an application that claims to deal with virtual business cards. The injection was simple and typing the target of the iFrame inserted the frame. The target has a frame killer, and redirected the page to a phished google login page. An unsuspecting user may typically enter the credentials on this page, specially if the URL is funkified.
The page also exploits a cross site request forgery on iRead. Whenever a user adds a book to the bookshelf, a simple URL is fetched using a HTTP GET. The URL has all the parameters required to add a book or change its status. Opening it in an iFrame in the phished page would simple add the book. This can be extended to exploit any applications that have CSRF.
Note: The application may correct this error soon, so take a look as soon as you can !! Here is the link
P.S. : This is my 100th post !! :)
