XSS in DuckDuckGo- 457

PMocPosted 4 Years Ago
  • DuckDuckGo is a privacy oriented search engine. Because of this, security bugs are a big deal.
  • A researcher accidentally found an HTML injection bug while looking at search results for Urban Dictionary. The content of a header was being injected into the page as raw HTML.
  • This is a dead-simple XSS; the payload is even extremely simple. However, the interesting part is WHERE the payload came from. Sometimes, the avenue of the attack is the most important part.
