Palm.com - XSS vulnerability
----------------------------------------------
Type: Cross site scripting

Date: June, 13th 2006

Credits:

Discovered by: David "Aesthetico" Vieira-Kurz

----------------------------------------------

Vulnerability:
----------------------------------------------
I found a bug in the searchField of the official Palm store("http://store.palm.com/").

Input passed to the "keywords" parameter in "index.jsp" is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. 
This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

Sending a malicious code will result a code working on the page that pops up...

/searchHandler/index.jsp?keywords=[XSS CODE HERE]


Examples:
----------------------------------------------
/searchHandler/index.jsp?keywords=<script>alert("MajorSecurity")</script>
/searchHandler/index.jsp?keywords=3Cscript%3Ealert(document.cookie)%3C/script%3E
