Product & Service Introduction:
===============================
eBay Inc. is an American multinational internet consumer-to-consumer corporation, headquartered in San Jose, 
California. It was founded by Pierre Omidyar in 1995,

Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Remote


Severity Level:
===============
Medium


Technical Details & Description:
================================
Multiple client-side web vulnerabilities has been discovered in the official Ebay Pages online service web-application.
The first vulnerability allows remote attacker to inject client-side script codes to compromise browser to application 
requests.
The second vulnerability allows remote attacker to redirect client-side browser to application request for external 
manipulation.

The first vulnerability is a client-side cross site scripting vulnerability that is located in the nav value of the 
vulnerable link module.
The domain pages.ebay.com/link/ has two parameters `nav` and `url`. The `nav` parameter receives as argument `webview`. 
If an attacker sends 
a javascript code like `javascript:alert(document.cookie)` the code will execute in the same reply. The attack vector 
of the issue is non-
persistent and the request method to inject/execute is GET.

The second vulnerability is a client-side open redirect web vulnerability that is located in the url value of the 
vulnerable link module.
The `url` parameter receives as argument an url or javascript code. If an attacker sends an url like 
`http://www.google.es` the application 
will open the malicious webpage. The attack vector of the issue is non-persistent and the request method to redirect is 
GET.

The security risk of the client-side vulnerabilities is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring 
system) count of 3.4. 
Exploitation of the security vulnerabilities requires no privilege web-application user account and low or medium user 
interaction. 
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities results in session hijacking, non-persistent phishing, non-persistent 
external redirects, 
non-persistent load of malicious script codes or non-persistent web module context manipulation.

Request Method(s):
                                [+] GET

Vulnerable Module(s):
                                [+] Ebay Pages > /link

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                [+] nav
                                [+] url

Affected Module(s):
                                [+] webview


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers without privileged web-application user account and with low 
or medium user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to 
continue.

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The open redirect vulnerability can be patched by a restriction of the vulnerable url parameter. Approve the context 
and validate the request urls to prevent malicious redirects.

The client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse and encode of the vulnerable 
nav value in the link module GET method request.
Restrict the input to the parameter value and disallow special chars to prevent client-side script code injection 
attacks.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the client-side vulnerabilities in the official ebay online service pages
