[Full-disclosure] [BMSA 2009-05] Cross Site Request Forgery in Yahoo! 360plus



BLUE MOON SECURITY ADVISORY 2009-05
===================================


:Title: Cross Site Request Forgery in Yahoo! 360plus
:Severity: Moderate
:Reporter: Thinh Q. Hoang and Blue Moon Consulting
:Products: Yahoo! 360plus
:Fixed in: --


Description
-----------

We could not find out the definitive description for Yahoo! 360plus from Yahoo! 
website. This is our own understanding of the application: Yahoo! 360plus is a 
blogging service.

We have discovered a Cross Site Request Forgery vulnerability in Yahoo! 
360plus. The attacker could force an unknowning user to remove all her avatars 
by visiting a specially crafted page while her Yahoo! 360plus session is still 
valid.

This problem is similar to the one that allowed removal of user comments in 
Yahoo! 360 (the older version of Yahoo! 360plus). The link to avatar deletion 
is, in the case of Yahoo! 360plus Vietnam, 
``http://vn.blog.yahoo.com/setup/profile_photo.php?act=del&prf_photo=1`` where 
``prf_photo`` could be ``1``, ``2``, ``3``, or ``4``. Unlike other actions 
where a ``crumb`` token is required, this action does not require any token and 
hence suffers from a CSRF vulnerability.

Workaround
----------

Users of Yahoo! 360plus service should only login to make modifications and 
logout immediately when done.

Fix
---

There is no fix at the moment.
