Lycos.com - XSS vulnerability ---------------------------------------------- Type: Cross site scripting Date: June, 10th 2006 ---------------------------------------------- Credits: ---------------------------------------------- Discovered by: David "Aesthetico" Vieira-Kurz http://www.majorsecurity.de ---------------------------------------------- Vulnerability: ---------------------------------------------- I found a bug in the search-engine of Lycos Europe("http://search.lycos.com";). It is vulnerable for cross site scripting. Sending a malicious code will result a code working on the page that pops up... /?loc=searchbox&tab=web&adf=Off&query=[XSS CODE HERE] This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site. Examples: ---------------------------------------------- /?loc=searchbox&tab=web&adf=Off&query=<script>alert("MajorSecurity")</script> /?loc=searchbox&tab=web&adf=Off&query=%3Cscript%3Ealert(document.cookie)%3C/script%3E
