Vimeo.com - Reflected XSS Vulnerability
How it was found
Hi.
I want to report a Reflected xss vulnerability that I found in www.vimeo.com website and which can affect the safety of your users. This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject in web pages javascript content for sending malicious scripts to an unsuspecting user. This flaw can access any cookies, session tokens, or other sensitive information retained by victim's browser and used with that site.
PoC Link: http://vimeo.com/enhancer?section_tab=xss%27%2balert(1)%2b%27
Type: GET XSS
Vulnerable Parameter: section_tab
Steps for reproducing this flaw: Open the PoC Link in any web browser and you will see that the value of section_tab parameter is inserted in the html page without being filtered. As a result, the javascript function alert() used as a payload for this PoC will be called.
