Medium
Technical Details & Description:
================================
A non-persistent input validation web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Yahoo eMarketing online service web-application.
The security vulnerability allows remote attackers to manipulate client-side application to browser requests to compromise user/admin session information.
The vulnerability is located in the `id` value of the `eMarketing` module. Remote attackers are able to inject malicious script codes to client-side GET method
application requests. Remote attackers are able to prepare special crafted web-links to execute client-side script code that compromises the yahoo user/admin
session data. The execution of the script code occurs in same module context location by a mouse-over. The attack vector of the vulnerability is located on the
client-side of the online service and the request method to inject or execute the code is GET.
The security risk of the non-persistent cross site vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.5.
Exploitation of the non-persistent cross site scripting web vulnerability requires no privileged web application user account and low user interaction.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, non-persistent phishing, non-persistent external redirects, non-persistent load
of malicious script codes or non-persistent web module context manipulation.
Request Method(s):
[+] GET
Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] Yahoo > eMarketing
Vulnerable Parameter(s):
