I was hoping someone could shed some light on this odd XSS vulnerability I uncovered while doing a pentest for a client. The site is a customer portal and when the below XSS is executed nothing happens. Basically gives a session error back, nothing interesting there. But when you kill -9 or End Process on FireFox then reopen with "Restore Session" the site comes back up to the XSS but dumps logged in users information. I cannot replicate this in other browsers nor with Paros, webscarab, SPIKE etc. https://host/portal/j_acegi_security_check?j_username=%27%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27xss%27%29%3C%2Fscript%3E&j_password=d&login=Login -Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: Cenzic Need to secure your web apps NOW?
