Livefyre LiveComments Plugin – Persistent Cross-Site Scripting
Title : Stored XSS in Livefyre LiveComments Plugin CVE : 2014-6420 Vendor Homepage : http://livefyre.com Software Link : http://web.livefyre.com/streamhub/#liveComments Version : v3.0 Author : Brij Kishore Mishra Date : 03-Sept-2014 Tested On : Chrome 37, Ubuntu 14.04 Description : This plugin requires user to be signed in via livefyre account to post comments. Users have the option to upload pictures in comments. This feature can be easily abused. Using an intercepting proxy (e.g. Burp Suite), the name variable can be edited to send an XSS payload while uploading a picture (payload used : "><img src=x onerror=prompt(1337)>). When the comment is posted, the image will be successfully uploaded, which leads to XSS due to an unsanitized field. |
