Technical Details & Description:  
================================  
A persistent mail encoding web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Heroku Dashboard Web-Application (API).  
The application-side issue allows remote attackers to compromise emails by injection of own malicious persistent context.  
  
The heroku dashboard impact a vulnerability inside of the invite module. After the registration with a script code payload as first- &lastname.   
The heroku online-service responds without secure encoded name value inside of the invitation mailing. The attacker went after the registration   
to the following webpage (https://dashboard.heroku.com/apps/asdsad/access) and is able to include any email to stream inside of the invitation   
to collaborate request own malicious script codes. The request method to inject the code by registration inside of the app service is POST.   
The exploitation takes place after the local attacker included another remote email to stream unauthorized malicious persistent context in   
outgoing emails of the heroku online-service through an invitation to collaborate.  
  
In the main emails of the registration the context of the database has been parsed in outgoing mail. The heroku dashboard access service does   
not encode the database context on invitations to collaborate context which results in the successful exploitation of the application-side issue.  
The bug typus has been declared as persistent mail encoding web vulnerability in the heroku webserver service in connection with the vulnerable   
application module/function. The sender email is the main heroku reply address. The bug execution occurs in the api validation of the form that   
allows to contact via invite other email contacts. In the Dashboard beta of heroku is the same bug in the same module/function available because   
only the frontend has been changed during the update.   
  
The security risk of the persistent mail encoding web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system)   
count of 4.1. Exploitation of the persistent vulnerability in the `invitation to collaborate` module requires a low privileged heroku account   
with low user interaction. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, persistent phishing attacks, persistent   
redirect to external source and persistent manipulation of affected or connected module context.  
  
  
Request Method(s):  
[+] POST  
  
Vulnerable Module(s):  
[+] Heroku Dashboard > Apps > User[x] > Access  
[+] Heroku Dashboard Beta > Apps > User[x] > Access  
  
Vulnerable Function(s):  
[+] Invitation to Collaborate  
[+] Invitation  
  
Affected Module(s):  
[+] API  
  
  
Proof of Concept (PoC):  
=======================  
The persistent mail encoding web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers with low privileged application user account and low user interaction.  
For security demonstration or to reproduce the security vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.  
  
  
Manual steps to reproduce the security vulnerability ...  
  
1. Register an account with a script code payload in the first- & last-name input fields  
2. Save the context and access the account  
3. Register a new random app inside of the dasboard  
4. Switch to the apps > access section in the regular dasboard or via beta template  
5. Add any random email or heroku user account mail to the access rules and save the context  
Note: A notification mail arrives at the new registered access user inbox  
6. The payload executes ahead to the mail mail body context because of the registered payload inside of the user profile values  
7. Successful reproduce of the persistent web vulnerability!

Solution - Fix & Patch:  
=======================  
The persistent input validation web vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse and encode of the `first- & lastname` input values of the heroku profile.  
Restrict the input fields on registration and disallow special char as name value input to prevent exploitation.   
  
Filter and encode also the outgoing the `Invite to collaborate` and `Invite to heroku` mail context to prevent persistent script code execution, hijacking attacks or phishing attempts.  
  
  
Security Risk:  
==============  
The security risk of the persistent mail encoding web vulnerability in the notification service (api) is estimated as medium. (CVSS 4.1)
