  Lycos Free Email Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

Lycos's Free Email service "allows users to have their own web based email
account very much like Hotmail". A cross site scripting vulnerability in
Lycos's Free Email service allows an attacker to steal a user's cookie
allowing him full access to his Lycos email account. Further, due to a
flaw in the way Lycos handles cookies, even if the user being attacked
changes his password, the attacker can still gain access to his account as
the cookie will remain valid.

DETAILS

Proof of Concept:
The following URL will trigger the vulnerability in Lycos:
