[Facebook] Missing rate limit in comments

On Facebook Developers site, a bug report had a comment section with missing rate limit. Any User with a Facebook ID can comment on it.

Rate limit evaluation -

I was able to send 30001 repeated payloads with Burp Thread set to 100 without getting blocked. The 30001th payload was sent successfully with a comment and "200 OK" status with response saying "success=True" in a minute.

This could have been done to the comment replies as well.

POC -

Visit any Public Bug Report - https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/REPORT_ID

Make a comment and catch the request with Burp Interceptor and take the request to Intruder.

Use NULL PAYLOADS as attack vector and Repeat the requests.

[Google] Access to BGP server + DOM XSS

 A hacker could have had the access to a BGP REST API server without any authorisation which was leading to leak of internal network info, devices info, network configuration and modification. Apart from that, there was a DOM XSS vulnerability in the target IP asset as well. POC - An IP address had a BGP server running on it. The access to it was an API service " Sonic Network Management APIs". These API calls could have been made without authorisation(access_token) and they were all listed with specifications on - " https://IP/ui/model.html". Endpoints such as - /ui/model.html?urls.primaryName=sonic-interface.yaml#/sonic-interface/get_sonic_interface_sonic_interface /ui/model.html?urls.primaryName=sonic-port.yaml#/sonic-port/get_sonic_port_sonic_port /ui/model.html?urls.primaryName=openconfig-lldp.yaml#/openconfig-lldp/get_openconfig_lldp_lldp_interfaces /ui/model.html?urls.primaryName=openconfig-platform.yaml#/openconfig-platform/get_openconfig_platform_components...

[Google] YouTube "restconf" Swagger-UI XSS

  During my recon, I came across a few Google owned IP assets which were running "restconfig" services hosted on Swagger-UI. Dawid Moczadło has written a detailed article here . POC - Three IP assets on -  "https://IP/ui" were vulnerable to DOM XSS on this endpoint - "/ui/model.html?configUrl=http://hackingmonks/test.json". The Swagger-UI did show the available API endpoints for the service but had authorisation in place(access_token was needed). During this period, I had found 4th asset which had the same vulnerability along with additional exploitation, which was reported in another ticket. The write-up can be found here ( Access to BGP server + DOM XSS ).
