List of Incidents for a Classification

Please note that classifications are a new feature and not all entries in WHID are already classified, so when you get a certain number of entries for a classification, WHID might have more records matching that classification that we did not classify yet. We hope to complete the classification process soon.

Select classification:
Attack Method, Country, Location, Origin, Outcome, Software, Vertical

Select criteria for classification "Country":
?, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Ecuador, France, Germany, Global, Greece, India, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Korea, Libya, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, Turkey, UK, United Nations, USA

WHID 2007-32: XSS vulnerability on various German online banking sites
Reported: 01 July 2007
Occurred: 17 May 2007

Classifications:

  • Attack Method: Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
  • Country: Germany
  • Outcome: Disclosure Only
  • Vertical: Finance

I seldom add disclosures anymore to WHID, even less XSS disclosures, but since this time they were discovered in banking sites, I thought it was worth it. After all, too many times people think that application vulnerabilities are found only at less "serious" or less "important" web sites where no real damage can occur.

WHID 2007-12: SQL injection at knorr.de login page
Reported: 02 April 2007
Occurred: 02 March 2007

Classifications:

  • Attack Method: Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
  • Attack Method: SQL Injection
  • Country: Germany
  • Outcome: Disclosure Only
  • Vertical: Retail

While vulnerabilities in public web sites are dime a dozen this days and rarely included in WHID, a classic SQL injection in the login form on the home page of the web site of a very big company is worth an entry. In my presentation I usually claim that such vulnerabilities have disappeared years ago and then go on to show advanced SQL injection techniques. It seems that they exit.
