#
# Class : Authentication Bypass

############################################################################
Overview:
Yahoo! Inc. is an American computer services company with a mission to "be
the most essential global Internet service for consumers and businesses". It
operates an Internet portal, including the popular Yahoo! Mail.According to
Web trends Yahoo! is the most visited website on the Internet today with more
than 400 million unique users. The global network of Yahoo! websites received
3.4 billion page views per day on average as of October 2005.
Various Yahoo! services are vulnerable to authentication bypass, session
binding, weak cookie encoding, cross-site scripting file inclusion and url
redirection vulnerabilities, which is caused due to improper validation of
user-supplied inputs.
Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities exist in various Yahoo services.
1. Authentication Bypass and Session Binding Vulnerability.
A malicious user can log on to the yahoo without submitting the username
and password by constructing a malicious URL using cookies.
Same session (URL) can be used to login multiple times from multiple IP
address leading to session binding vulnerability.

2. Cookie Encoding Security Weakness
Implementation of cookies in yahoo is too weak that it can be decoded
easily. A malicious attacker can easily collect many personal information
using cookies like year of birth, zipcode, country and name which can be
used to get password from "yahoo forgot password".
Where in
sk & d is session
n is password
l is username
p is country, year of birth, gender and more
b is cookies created
lg is language
intl is international language
iz is zipcode
jb is Industry and title

3. Cross-Site Scripting.
This vulnerability is resulted from the failure of Yahoo! filtering engine
to block cretin user-supplied inputs
a) Yahoo Calendar Service XSS
The flaws are due to improper sanitization of inputs passed to
"Location", "Address", "Street" and "Phone".

header like Accept, Accept-Charset, Accept-Language, Cache-Control,
Connection, Content-Length, Content-Type, Cookie, Keep-Alive, Pragma,
SOAPAction and User-Agent in Yahoo Mail Beta.

Impact:
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary script code
in a users browser session in context of an affected site which may
allow to steal cookie based authentication credentials.
3. URL redirection.
This is due failure of filtering of incoming untrusted data before the
content reaches their users .This can be exploited for phishing attack. The
vulnerable parameters are yahoo search web, image, video, preferences, cache,
yahoo answers and more urls containing /*http://yahoo.com or /**http://
yahoo.com
