SEC-CONSULT Security Advisory 20051021-0
=========================================
title: Yahoo/MSIE XSS
program: Yahoo Webmail in combination with MSIE 6.0
(maybe other browsers)
homepage: www.yahoo.com
found: 2005-04
by: SEC-Team / SEC-CONSULT / www.sec-consult.com
=========================================
Vulnerabilty overview:
---------------
Since april 2005 SEC-Consult has found 5+ serious vulnerabilities within Yahoo's webmail systems.
All of them have been fixed in the production environment. Nevertheless SEC-Consult believes that
input-validation thru blacklists can just be a temporary solution to problems like this. From our
point of view there are many other applications vulnerable to this special type of problem where
vulnerabilities of clients and servers can be combined.
Vulnerabilty details:
---------------
1) XSS / Cookie-Theft
Yahoos blacklists fail to detect script-tags in combination with special characters like NULL-Bytes and other META-Characters.
This leaves Webmail users using MSIE vulnerable to typical XSS / Relogin-trojan / Phishing attacks.
2) Some XSS Examples from our advisories
Excerpt from HTML-mails:
=========================================
SCRIPT-TAG:
---cut here---
<h1>hello</h1><s[META-Char]cript>alert("i have you now")</s[META-Char]cript></br>rrrrrrxxxxx<br>
