How it was found
Hello Team, Ther an exposure of your username and password on this subdomain █████
uid: "mtnng",
passwd: "██████████",
Steps To Reproduce:
Visit ███
Now, press CTRL+U to view the source code of this page,
Look for this code
console.log(message);
}
}
(function (){
const plid = 73;
const mtnContainer = document.getElementById("mtn20238");
const mtnUri = mtnContainer.childNodes[0].getAttribute("href");
mtnContainer.addEventListener("click", ()=>fetch(mtnUri).catch(()=>{}));
window.mobucksApi.placeAd({
containerElementId: "mtn20238",
uid: "mtnng",
passwd: "███████",
plid:plid,
}, () => {
typeof mtnNoBanner == "function" && mtnNoBanner(plid,mtnContainer);
Impact
The exposed password is in md5 which I was able to decrypt easily
uid: mtnng hash = bd31568138edbfc0552a1ecc6886ea plain password: ███
And as an attacker, this can be abused in lots of ways such as exposing some client's info
