Details:
========
A persistent input validation web vulnerability is detected in the official Taxi Monger v2.6.2 Android (v2.3.3) Mobile 
Application (Google - PlayStore).
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own malicious persistent (application-side) script codes to 
compromise the android application or device.

The persistent input validation web vulnerability is located in the username input field when processing to inject 
malicious script codes as name.
Attackers can inject own malicious script codes to execute the context persistent from the index listing. To inject the 
script code the remote attacker 
do not need to bypass the basic validation of the application for successful exploitation.

Exploitation of the persistent web vulnerability requires low user interaction and a low privilege application user 
account. Successful exploitation of the 
persistent input validation web vulnerability results in persistent session hijacking, persistent web phishing, 
persistent external redirects or persistent 
module context manipulation.


Vulnerable Module(s):
                                [+] Registration

Vulnerable Input Fields(s):
                                [+] Username

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                [+] name (context)

Affected Module(s):
                                [+] Index and Profile Listing


Proof of Concept:
=================
The persistent script coe injection web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers with low user interaction 
and low privilege 
application user account. For demonstration or reproduce ...

XSS (JS) PoC:

<Script Language='Javascript'>
<!--
document.write(unescape('%3C%69%6D%61%67%65%20%73%72%63%3D%68%74%74%70%3A%2F%2F%76%75%6C%6E%2D%6C%61%62
%2E%63%6F%6D%20%6F%6E%65%72%72%6F%72%3D%61%6C%65%72%74%28%27%69%73%6D%61%69%6C%6B%61%6C%65%65%6D%27%29%20%2F%3E'));
//-->
</Script>


Solution:
=========
Restrict the username and name input field and parse the input with a secure encoding or filter.
Encode and parse the output listing and profile site to prevent persistent script code executions from the main 
application module.


Risk:
=====
The security risk of the persistent input validation web vulnerability is estimated as medium(+)|(-)high.
