Exploit: Zero-day

We've issued two zero-day warnings so far, OneCare and Cisco Systems

Today's disclosure involves Google and Yahoo search engines:

All you need to do is put in the code to a web page, when Google and
Yahoo visit it, then the code exploits the software they use and makes
them start caching 'other' pages. Including 'no index' pages, where
sites have setup a robot text file on their server to protect
corporate and consumer interests. We already gave an example of this
earlier.... http://groups.google.com/group/n3td3v/browse_thread/thread/542b78eaabea015a/5b1c58ab92b11c4f
The exploit allows you to insert 'arbitrary' code, which also means
denial of service or 'crash' for short.
This means the profit of GOOG and YHOO are compromised, but MOREOVER
(Hi robert lemos) this means you can get Google and Yahoo to cache
sensitive data. The cached data isn't avaiable to the public per say,
because in the 'arbitrary' code, you assign a special encryption to
the cache, that only the hacker knows. This means specific users use
the search engine, with a robot to automatically harvest the exploited
data..... this part of the attack is possible because Google and Yahoo
don't have 'word verfication' on all search queries.
MOREOVER (Hi robert lemos), the compromised data, to which we exploit
is used to break into Google and Yahoo, ebcause we have a list of all
the corporate users logged in. However, all web servers are
vulnerable, but our focus is Google and Yahoo employees.... you can
use the exploit to get credit cards and other evils.

Take care
n3td3v research branch

Google and Yahoo did not take our original seriously, so we
re-allocate their memory today.

This is ciritcal, but Henri and Mark don't talk to me anymore on Yahoo
Messenger, so we can't pass info across to the vendor... and the
security@xxxxxxxxxxxxx address you get no reply, so, its upto the
international security community now for Google and Yahoo to get this
patched once and for all.

http us today at n3td3v.googlepages.com

We work our wicked ways......


1. insert exploit code into server

2. wait for google and yahoo

3. access key set once bot reaches your page, this lets n3td3v
research branch access our exploied data via search.yahoo.com (a key
is assigned, so noone else can query our data by accident, this acts
as a password for the search data.

4. Our bot goes to search.yahoo.com with matching access key, and
grabs data... is served back to our database, where we then use this
data to access corporate and consumer accounts, and do specialized
harvesting of the type of data we've grabbed from the Yahoo and Google
servers.

5. We define the different types of consumer and corporate data thats
arrived on our database server, allowing us to further filter and tag
different types of data, this then allows us to 'search our' database
on demand for corporate and (or) corporate data.

6. We have world domination, and Google and Yahoo cannot detect the
malicious with their conventional aduit methods, because we asked our
inside contacts.

Happy coding.
