Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline: ================================== 2015-08-06: Researcher Notification & Coordination (Hadji Samir) 2015-08-07: Vendor Notification (Flowdock Security Team - Bug Bounty Program) 2015-08-08: Vendor Response/Feedback (Flowdock Security Team - Bug Bounty Program) 2015-08-10: Vendor Fix/Patch (Flowdock Developer Team) 2015-09-22: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory) Discovery Status: ================= Published Affected Product(s): ==================== Rally Software Product: Flowdock - Online Service (Web-Application) [API] 2015 Q3 Exploitation Technique: ======================= Remote Severity Level: =============== Medium Technical Details & Description: ================================ An application-side input validation web vulnerability has been discovered in the officialFlowdock online-service web-application. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own malicious script codes to the application-side of the vulnerable context function or service module. The vulnerability is located in the name input field of the inbox souds flowdock api service. Remote attackers with low privilege application user accounts are able to inject own malicious script codes to the application-side of the service. The request method to inject malicious context is POST and the attack vector is located on the application-side of the flowdock api web-service. Remote attackers are able to inject malicious script codes to the application-side to compromise flowdock accounts by session manipulation or session evasion attacks. The security risk of the persistent input validation web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.8. Exploitation of the persistent input validation web vulnerability requires a low privilege web-application user account and low or medium user interaction. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, persistent phishing attacks, persistent redirect to external sources and persistent manipulation of affected or connected service module context. Request Method(s): [+] POST Vulnerable Module(s): [+] Inbox Source - Flowdock API Vulnerable Parameter(s): [+] description Proof of Concept (PoC): ======================= The security vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers with low privilege application user account and low or medium user interaction. For security demonstration or to reproduce the security vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue. Manual steps to reproduce the vulnerability ... 1. Create acount with name have a payload code 2. Click to add more sources.. 3. Click add new (Git) 4. Will open new link https://www.flowdock.com/jari/auth/git?flow=e60291f4-8869-4f08-b04d-bc07ea6eb787&intent=setup write anything in the name and save 5. Now, the payloadcode will execute 6. Successful reproduce of the application-side vulnerability! PoC: Vulnerable Source

Restrict the input and disallow special chars, Escape and include an own exception handling to prevent further execution of script code in the same service section. Prevent the part of vulnerable code to execute in the output section to finally patch the bug. Security Risk: ============== The security risk of the application-side vulnerability in the flowdock online service web-application is estimated as medium.
