VideoJS Cross Site Scripting and DoS vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player and VideoJS Flash Component v3.0

Code
`Hello list!  
  
I want to inform you about vulnerabilities in VideoJS. This is popular video  
and audio player, which is used at hundreds thousands of web sites and in  
multiple web applications.  
  
This is Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in VideoJS. There is also DoS  
hole related to this player, which I've found at 27.01.2013 at vine.co,  
which was using VideoJS Flash Component v3.0 (http://vine.co/v/b5HpgZT3ZwL).  
Which concerned with Flash Player, Adobe fixed it already at 12th of  
February.  
  
More information is in my advisory for DoS vulnerability in Adobe Flash  
Player (http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2013/Apr/9). Here is my video  
demonstration of BSOD in Adobe Flash in Mozilla Firefox with using VideoJS  
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi29KZ3LD80).  
  
-------------------------  
Affected products:  
-------------------------  
  
Vulnerable are versions before VideoJS Flash Component 3.0.2 and VideoJS  
4.0. Versions VideoJS Flash Component 3.0.2 and VideoJS 4.0 are not  
vulnerable to mentioned XSS hole, except XSS via JS callbacks (as it can be  
read in repository on github). Also there are bypass methods which work in  
the last version, but the developers haven't fixed them due to their low  
impact. This week developers are planning to officially release VideoJS 4.0  
(but swf-file with fixed XSS hole is already available at video.js and  
video-js-swf repositories on github).  
  
Updated version of VideoJS.swf is available in the next repositories:  
  
https://github.com/videojs/video-js-swf  
https://github.com/MustLive/video-js-swf  
  
-------------------------  
Affected vendors:  
-------------------------  
  
Earlier Zencoder, now Brightcove  
http://videojs.com  
  
----------  
Details:  
----------  
  
Cross-Site Scripting (WASC-08):  
  
http://site/video-js.swf?readyFunction=alert(document.cookie)  
  
But the fix in VideoJS Flash Component 3.0.2 is not protecting from the next  
attacks:  
  
http://site/video-js.swf?readyFunction=alert  
  
http://site/video-js.swf?readyFunction=prompt  
  
http://site/video-js.swf?readyFunction=confirm  
  
Which are small ones and the developers don't worry about them, so after  
I've drawn their attention last week on incomplete fix, they still released  
such fix. But they will think about improving their protection in the future  
versions.  
  
------------  
Timeline:  
------------   
  
2013.01.27 - found DoS (BSOD) vulnerability.  
2013.01.28 - recorded video PoC. And in the night have informed Adobe.  
2013.02.07 - found XSS vulnerability.  
2013.02.08 - informed developers of VideoJS about both vulnerabilities. They  
thanked and promised to fix it.  
2013.02.12 - Adobe fixed DoS vulnerability.  
2013.02.23 - reminded VideoJS developers and asked for date of releasing the  
fix.  
2013.03.09 - again reminded developers.  
2013.03.26 - again reminded developers.  
2013.04.08 - reminded developers on github and resent previous letter to  
Zencoder's developers (since Brightcove, which acquired Zencoder, ignored  
the hole for two months).  
2013.04.08-30 - discussed with developers (on github and by e-mail). And  
made my own fix to force developers to fix the hole.  
2013.04.30 - developers fixed XSS hole in VideoJS Flash Component 3.0.2 in  
source code on github.  
2013.05.02 - developers compiled fixed version of swf (after my reminding)  
and uploaded to both repositories.  
2013.05.02 - tested version 3.0.2 and found that developers haven't fixed  
the hole completely and informed them.
