Product & Service Introduction:
===============================
Magento is an open source e-commerce web application that was launched on March 31, 2008 under the name Bento. It was 
developed 
by Varien (now Magento, a division of eBay) with help from the programmers within the open source community but is now 
owned 
solely by eBay Inc. Magento was built using parts of the Zend Framework. It uses the entity-attribute-value (EAV) 
database model 
to store data. In November 2013, W3Techs estimated that Magento was used by 0.9% of all websites.

Our team of security professionals works hard to keep Magento customer information secure. What`s equally important to 
protecting 
this data? Our security researchers and user community. If you find a site that isn`t following our policies, or a 
vulnerability 
inside our system, please tell us right away.

Affected Product(s):
====================
Ebay Inc.
Product: Magento - Web Application Service 2014 Q1


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


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


Technical Details & Description:
================================
An application-side mail encoding web vulnerability has been discovered in the official eBay Magento & Info 
Web-Application.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass the outgoing mail filter validation of the magento web-server & 
web-application.

The vulnerability is located in the first- and lastname values of the `Talk to a Specialist` module. Remote attackers 
without privileged application 
user account are able to inject persistent malicious script codes. The script code execution occurs in the notification 
mail to the specialist but 
also to the active user copy mail. The persistent injected script code executes in the header section were the database 
context of the first- and 
lastname will be displayed. The sender interacts automatically by usage of the magento.com & info.magento.com service. 
The validation of the db 
stored outgoing values is wrong encoded and allows persistent injections of malicious script codes via POST method. The 
attack vector is persistent 
and the injection request method is POST. 

The security risk of the mail encoding web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability 
scoring system) count of 3.8.
Exploitation of the web vulnerability requires no privileged web-application user account and low or medium user 
interaction because of the
persistent attack vector. Successful exploitation of the encoding vulnerability results in session hijacking, 
persistent phishing, persistent 
external redirects and persistent manipulation of web header or mail body context.

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


Manual steps to reproduce of the vulnerability ...
1. You do not need to register an account ;)
2. Open up the main website and switch to the magento.com contacts site
3. On the bottom you need to click the `talk to specialist` button
4. You get redirect to a regular valid formular with a mod specialist notification
5. Inject your script code payloads as first-, last- and companyname values
6. Click the send request button ...
Note: Now, you will be redirected by the service after choosing a specialist ... we used `E.C. Kraus` (#sry ;)
7. Send the same request from the input below to the specialist with a non malicious test payload
8. The persistent code execution occurs in the mail to the manager aka specialist but also to the sender of the 
notification itself (without user auth!)
9. Successful reproduce of the persistent script code injection web vulnerability via POST method request

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse or encode of the `talk to a specialist` input context.
Encode and parse also the outgoing user values of the talk to a specialist form to prevent persistent injections via 
POST to outgoing service ebay magento mails.
Restrict the input and disallow the usage of special chars.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the persistent input validation and mail encoding web vulnerability is estimated as medium. (CVSS 
3.8)
