Lately, i have been researching on DOM based XSS a bit, In my previous post i talked about the DOM based XSS i found inside AVG,
DOM based XSS is caused due to lack of input filtering inside client
side javascripts, since most of the code is moving towards client side,
therefore DOM based xss have been very common now a days, It is
predicted by the experts that the DOM based xss mostly occurs in the
websites that heavily rely upon javascripts.
I have reported several DOM based XSS inside Microsoft, most of them
were due to the lack of input filtering/sanitization inside of the
several tracking scripts such as sitecatalyst and riotracking scripts as
they often introduce some vulnerable sources and sinks. With that being
said, let's take a look at the POC of the attack:
The vulnerability occurs due to lack of filtering being done inside riotracking script (Line
58), There are other microsoft domains that are also using the same
tracking script vulnerable to DOM based XSS, see if you can find one?.
