Affected Product(s):
====================

Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Remote


Severity Level:
===============
Low


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability has been discovered in the eSolutions HTTP Live Headers v1.0.6 google chrome browser addon.
The non-persistent cross site vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own script code to the client-side of the vulnerable online-service module.

The vulnerability is located in the `url` value of the `HTTP LIVE HEADERS` module. Remote attackers are able to inject own script codes to client-side application requests. 
The attack vector is non persistent and the request method to inject/execute is GET. The vulnerable source is located in the esolutions http live 
headers v1.0.6 addon for google chrome browsers.

The security risk of the cross site web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.3. 
Exploitation of the cross site scripting web vulnerability requires no privilege web application user account and low or medium user interaction. 
Successful exploitation results in client-side account theft by hijacking, client-side phishing, client-side external redirects and non-persistent 
manipulation of affected or connected service modules.

Request Method(s):
							[+] GET
							
Vulnerable Module(s):
							[+] HTTP LIVE HEADERS
							
Vulnerable File(s):
							[+] /webstore/detail/live-http-headers/iaiioopjkcekapmldfgbebdclcnpgnlo/reviews

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
							[+] URL


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without privilege application user account and with low or medium user interaction.

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse and encode of the url value in the preview GET method request.
Restrict the input and disallow usage of special chars to prevent further client-side script code injection attacks via GET method.
Setup an exception that prevent the output execution by redirection to a secure path location.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability in the browser addon is estimated as medium. (CVSS 3.3)
