Acknowledged by Compilr

Found 2 major reflected XSS vulnerabilities in the login page and the signup page. The risk was very high because attackers can use a remote keylogger to capture keystrokes. This can be easily achieved by JavaScript. For reporting them my name got published in the Thanks section.

Ophcrack Path Subversion Arbitrary DLL Injection Code Execution

What is DLL Hijacking?

This is how Microsoft describes it

When an application dynamically loads a dynamic-link library without specifying a fully qualified path name, Windows attempts to locate the DLL by searching a well-defined set of directories in a particular order, as described in Dynamic-Link Library Search Order. If an attacker gains control of one of the directories on the DLL search path, it can place a malicious copy of the DLL in that directory. This is sometimes called a DLL preloading attack or a binary planting attack. If the system does not find a legitimate copy of the DLL before it searches the compromised directory, it loads the malicious DLL. If the application is running with administrator privileges, the attacker may succeed in local privilege elevation.

Basically when an application tries to load a DLL without specifying a fully qualified path name Windows tries to load the DLL in a order of directories. If the application attempts to load a DLL by it’s name it should go in this order of directories (x86).

The directory from which the application loaded.
The system directory.
The 16-bit system directory.
The Windows directory.
The current directory.
The directories that are listed in the PATH environment variable.

How I Defeated LinkedIn’s 3rd-degree Profile Security

This issue is already patched by LinkedIn House Security and disclosed after a responsible disclosure.

It was an early morning and I was in the middle of a submission of an assignment at my college. I got an email from LinkedIn displaying the people who viewed my profile. This made me log into LinkedIn for a while to have a look what’s new. I saw a random profile who was a 3^rd-degree relation. I really wanted to view the profile for some reason. At the very same time I was viewing Olivia Maree’s LinkedIn profile. Well, she is a manager at Bugcrowd and a good friend of mine. I always keep an eye on the URLs 😉 so after viewing both profiles and analyzing the web application carefully that morning I got some tricky ideas in my head. I will explain from the beginning so that you can understand the process well. Let’s start fuzzing 🙂

GET /profile/view?id=31594124&authType=name&authToken=HM8p&trk=prof-sb-browse_map-name HTTP/1.1

As she is already connected in my profile so after having a look at the GET request the “authType” parameter has a value of “name” and the token parameter is “authToken”, it has a value of “HM8p”. This is her profile.
