Magento is an open source e-commerce web application that was launched on March 31, 2008 under the name Bento. It was developed
by Varien (now Magento, a division of eBay) with help from the programmers within the open source community but is now owned
solely by eBay Inc. Magento was built using parts of the Zend Framework. It uses the entity-attribute-value (EAV) database model
to store data. In November 2013, W3Techs estimated that Magento was used by 0.9% of all websites.

Technical Details & Description:
================================
A persistent input validation web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Magento xCommerce web-application.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own script code on the application-side of the affected service module.
The vulnerability is located in the `attr` value of the `magento-connect/message/message/create/ ` module. The attacker needs
to create a `New Message` and tampers the POST method request. Then he changes the vulnerable attr value with a malicious payload.
The execution occurs in the same modules context. The request method to inject is POST and the attack vector of the vulnerability
is located on the application-side of the magento service.
The security risk of the persistent web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.9.
Exploitation of the persistent web vulnerability requires a low privileged web-application user account and low or medium user interaction.
Successful exploitation of the application-side vulnerability results in session hijacking, persistent phishing, persistent external redirects
and persistent manipulation affected or connected module context.
Vulnerable Domain(s):
[+] www.magentocommerce.com/ (Magento Connect)
Request Method(s):
[+] POST
Vulnerable Module(s):
