XSS Vulnerability Found in Cartoon Network's (CN) Official Website By Dr41DeY
After the successful breach of 'DY365 TV' yet again the hacker going by the name of Dr41DeY from Nigerian Cyber Army targeted another TV network. Guess what, this time he caught even a bigger fish. Unlike defacement or breach this time the hacker did something what it called ethical or can be categorized in white-hat list. Okey now without pulling the intro more longer lets directly come to the story -and that is the official website of Cartoon Network is vulnerable of cross site scripting attack also known as XSS attack. Cartoon Network mostly known as CN is the worlds leader in broadcasting animated programming, ranging from action to animated comedy & many more. This satellite channel is the most preferred channel for the children and teenagers between the ages of 7 to 5 among the whole of the world. So it is quit indisputable that the official website of Cartoon Network (CN) is indeed a valuable website which have large number of traffic everyday. But it is unclear that being such a big and popular brand name, why CN committed such a massacre while leaving XSS vulnerability in their official portal. Dr41DeY shared with VOGH, that the search box in the home page of CN poses non persistent XSS vulnerability. The above screen shots was taken as a proof of the story. I on behalf of Team VOGH has already contacted CN authorities, and knocked them about this issue. Hopefully they will take appropriate steps with out doing any further delay.
