Technical Details & Description:
================================
A client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Yahoo online service 
web-application.
The vulnerability allows remote attacker to manipulate client-side web-application to browser request to compromise 
session data.

The vulnerability is located in the rest_call_back of the vulnerable `/advertiser/ajax/bulkImportCampaigns` module POSt 
method request.
Remote attackers with low privielege application user accounts are able to inject own malicious script code to 
compromise client-side 
app to browser requests. The request method to inject is POST and the attack vector is located on the client-side of 
the online-service.

The security risk of the cross site web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring 
system) count of 3.8. 
Exploitation of the cross site scripting web vulnerability requires no privileged web application user account and no 
user interaction. 
Successful exploitation results in client-side account theft by hijacking, client-side phishing, client-side external 
redirects and 
non-persistent manipulation of affected or connected service modules.
