The hacker managed to exploit this vulnerability for sending malicious payload to the admin of Pentagon. Hackers claims that they got success in infecting them.

Hackers said they compromised  some important file and steal cookies from the pentagon mail. The security breach was done with collaboration with Chinese hackers.

At the time of writing, the vulnerability is not fixed. If the TCA claim is true, then this one will be the best example that demonstrate the severity of simple reflected xss. Yesterday, i have sent notification to Pentagon team about the vulnerability but there is no response from them.

In another mail, the team said the have hacked the state.gov with SQL injection vulnerability.

An Information Security Expert Narendra Bhati, from Sheoganj, India has discovered Reflected Cross site scripting vulnerability in the official website of MTS website(mtsindia.com).

MTS group is an Indian mobile network operator headquartered in New Delhi, that provides wireless voice, messaging and data services in India.

The vulnerability exists in the Search field  of the website.  Injecting the xss code in the Search box will execute successfully the injected code.

For instance, injecting the following code in the search box will display the alert box:

The above code will display a popup with the text "Inj3ct0r Team found Xss on vulnerability-lab".  At first the URL confused me, it points to some other IP.

 But I visit "video.vulnerability-lab.com" website and verified the security flaw by entering the script .  It seems like the result is being loaded from the above mentioned IP address.


"We know already about the issue 3 week ago."The vulnerability Lab team has responded. "The issue is not exploitable ... its fake because the issue is located in the website were no login is in use even if it is wordpress."

"The module and the video blog itself was secured ... only the update made the vulnerable module back available."
