Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline: ================================== 2015-07-02: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory) Discovery Status: ================= Published Affected Product(s): ==================== Exploitation Technique: ======================= Remote Severity Level: =============== Medium Technical Details & Description: ================================ A client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Google (Chrome Webstore) HTTP Live Headers v1.0.6 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 google chrome http live headers v1.0.6 addon. 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.
