Hi there,

I found Reflective XSS on http://firstbloodhackers.com:49421/login.php at ref parameter and since firstbloodhackers.com doesn't have httponly flag at cookie header this xss can be used to steal cookie. I notice there's filter/sanitazion in ref parameter that will encode/replace certain character/word (e.g < > ( alert java javascript) but still it's vulnerable by XSS but it's require user interaction to click the "return to previous page" for XSS to be executed

PoC alert. You must click "return to previous page" for XSS to be executed

PoC Steal cookie When doctor accessing this url while logged in at firstbloodhackers.com and click "return to previous page" the XSS will be executed and the cookie will be sent to attacker's server

FirstBlood ID: 3
Vulnerability Type: Reflective XSS

The parameter "ref" is vulnerable to XSS on login.php. The developer has tried to prevent a malicious actor from redirecting to a javascript URI but the attempt to stop this was poor and thus it can be bypassed.
