How it was found

Hi,

During recon, I found out that blog.romit.io was not mapped with wordpress.com and the domain was returning back error like this domain has not been mapped with wordpress.com, to map it please login into wordpres.com.

So, I quickly created an account on wordpress.com and mapped blog.romit.io by paying 13USD from my credit card.

So, I become the admin of blog.romit.io for just 13USD.

Proof of concept:

Just visit https://blog.romit.io.

Impact: This issue can have really huge impact on the companies reputation someone can post malicious content on the blog and then romit.io users will think its official but its NOT.

FIX?

  1. You can delete the CNAME entry for blog.romit.io

or..

  1. You can have my wordpress.com credentials.

Please see attached screenshots.

Thanks -@gone
