Product & Service Introduction:
===============================
PayPal is a global e-commerce business allowing payments and money transfers to 
be made through the Internet. Online money 
transfers serve as electronic alternatives to paying with traditional paper 
methods, such as checks and money orders. Originally, 
a PayPal account could be funded with an electronic debit from a bank account 
or by a credit card at the payer s choice. But some 
time in 2010 or early 2011, PayPal began to require a verified bank account 
after the account holder exceeded a predetermined 
spending limit. After that point, PayPal will attempt to take funds for a 
purchase from funding sources according to a specified 
funding hierarchy. If you set one of the funding sources as Primary, it will 
default to that, within that level of the hierarchy 
(for example, if your credit card ending in 4567 is set as the Primary over 
1234, it will still attempt to pay money out of your 
PayPal balance, before it attempts to charge your credit card). The funding 
hierarchy is a balance in the PayPal account; a 
PayPal credit account, PayPal Extras, PayPal SmartConnect, PayPal Extras Master 
Card or Bill Me Later (if selected as primary 
funding source) (It can bypass the Balance); a verified bank account; other 
funding sources, such as non-PayPal credit cards.
The recipient of a PayPal transfer can either request a check from PayPal, 
establish their own PayPal deposit account or request 
a transfer to their bank account.

PayPal is an acquirer, performing payment processing for online vendors, 
auction sites, and other commercial users, for which it 
charges a fee. It may also charge a fee for receiving money, proportional to 
the amount received. The fees depend on the currency 
used, the payment option used, the country of the sender, the country of the 
recipient, the amount sent and the recipient s account 
type. In addition, eBay purchases made by credit card through PayPal may incur 
extra fees if the buyer and seller use different currencies.

On October 3, 2002, PayPal became a wholly owned subsidiary of eBay. Its 
corporate headquarters are in San Jose, California, United 
States at eBay s North First Street satellite office campus. The company also 
has significant operations in Omaha, Nebraska, Scottsdale, 
Arizona, and Austin, Texas, in the United States, Chennai, Dublin, Kleinmachnow 
(near Berlin) and Tel Aviv. As of July 2007, across 
Europe, PayPal also operates as a Luxembourg-based bank.

On March 17, 2010, PayPal entered into an agreement with China UnionPay (CUP), 
China s bankcard association, to allow Chinese consumers 
to use PayPal to shop online.PayPal is planning to expand its workforce in Asia 
to 2,000 by the end of the year 2010.
Between December 4ñ9, 2010, PayPal services were attacked in a series of 
denial-of-service attacks organized by Anonymous in retaliation 
for PayPal s decision to freeze the account of WikiLeaks citing terms of use 
violations over the publication of leaked US diplomatic cables.

Abstract Advisory Information:
==============================
The Vulnerability Laboratory Research Team discovered a persistent web 
vulnerability in the official PayPal Inc (Core & API) Shipping Application.

Discovery Status:
=================
Published


Affected Product(s):
====================
PayPal Inc
Product: Shipping & MOS Application - API 2013 Q2


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


Severity Level:
===============
High


Technical Details & Description:
================================
Multiple persistent input validation web vulnerabilities are detected in the 
official PayPal Inc (Core & API) Shipping Web Application.
The vulnerability allows remote attacker to inject own malicious script codes 
to the application-side with persistent attack vector. 

The vulnerability is located in the Print Packing Slips and Print Selected 
module when processing to request via POST method 
manipulated itemno, orderno, order or description parameters. The remote 
attacker can inject the malicious payload (script code) 
as profile shipping pickup values or item details. The effect of the inject 
will only be visible in the print of the application 
and executes from the bottom of the generated print results list.

Exploitation of the persistent web vulnerability requires a low privilege web 
application user account and low user interaction. 
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, 
persistent phishing, persistent external redirects, 
persistent load of malicous script codes or persistent web module context 
manipulation.


Vulnerable Service(s):
                                [+] Paypal Inc - PayPal MultiOrder Shipping 
Application (Core & API) 

Vulnerable Module(s):
                                [+] Print Packing Slips
                                [+] Print Selected Context

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                [+] itemno
                                [+] orderno
                                [+] description

Affected Module(s):
                                [+] Print Listing - All or Selected
                                [+] Print Bottom Listing (Separat)


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The persistent input validation web vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote 
attackers without privilege application user account 
and with low user interaction. For demonstration or reproduce ...

Manual steps to reproduce the remote vulnerability ...

1. Register a US Paypal account and activate the shipping tools module
2. Open it up and inject as order number, item number and description your own 
script code as payload
3. Open the Print Packing Slips or Print Selected module to list the already 
injected payload
4. A new seperate window openes on print selected values of the shipping request
5. The injected payload will be executed in the bottom of the print listing
6. Successful reproduced!

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a restriction of the vulnerable 
description, itemno, oder, orderno parameters input. 
The input needs to be secure encoded and parsed by a separate filter mechanism.
At the end parse and encode the print output listing in the documents of the 
print selected and print packing slips module.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the persistent input validation web vulnerability is 
estimated as medium(+)|(-)high.
