DOM based reflected XSS in rockstargames.com/newswire/tags through cross domain ajax request
How it was found
Hi,
I have found a reflected XSS issue in http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/tags which is , IMO , somekinda tricky.
#PoC:
- URL:
http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/tags#/?tags=\%2e%2e\%2e%2e\%2e%2e\comments_dal\users\getGlobalLoginSettings%2ejson?callback=alert(%2fxss%2f);%2f%2f - Vulnerable Parameter:
#/?tags= - Payload:
\%2e%2e\%2e%2e\%2e%2e\comments_dal\users\getGlobalLoginSettings%2ejson?callback=alert(%2fxss%2f);%2f%2f
{F123778}
The value of the tags parameter is sent as an XHR request to /newswire/tagContent/[tags_param]/1 and the response gets printed in the page , also I have found that if the content-type of the response is application/javascript , it gets executed as javascript.
After digging for a while I found this endpoint www.rockstargames.com/comments_dal/users/getGlobalLoginSettings.json which returns a callback function in the response if the request is XHR. so I used the callback function to execute javascript through ?callback=alert(/xss/);//
Thanks!
