XSS On meta tags in profile page

  • Title: XSS On meta tags in profile page
  • Types: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Unvalidated / Open Redirect
  • Link: https://hackerone.com/reports/159984

Details:

The profile page (https://gitlab.com/u/) does not properly sanitize quotation marks, allowing for injection of attributes into the meta tags. This allows for redirection to phishing sites and other various nefarious things. I've managed to get my profile page to redirect to Bing by setting my bio to 0;url=http://www.bing.com" http-equiv="refresh
