A Vulnerability-Lab Reseacher discovered a persistent cross site scripting 
vulnerability on the MegaSWF website.

Published


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


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


Details:
========
A persistent cross site scripting vulnerability is detected on the MegaSwf 
website service.
The vulnerability allows an remote attacker with required user inter action to 
hijack customer sessions via persistent cross site scripting.
Successful exploitation can result in account steal, client side exploitation 
or phishing & session hijacking.
The bug is located on the serve module in-/output of the megaswf service web 
application.

Vulnerbale Module(s):
                                                                    [+] serve

Picture(s):
                                                                    ../1.png


Proof of Concept:
=================
The vulnerability can be exploited by remote attacker with required user inter 
action.
For demonstration or reproduce ...

PoC:
[1] Create an URLRequest-Object with a JS-Code like : var alert:URLRequest = 
new URLRequest("javascript:alert('xss')");
[2] Publishing the swf in megaswf.com will exploit a persistent 
xss-vulnerability and run your JS code.

Full code-example that can be used on a frame as actionscript :

import flash.net.URLRequest;
var alert:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:alert('xss')");
navigateToURL(alert, "_self");
