# Date: 2023-10-01
# Exploit Author: Mostafa Farzaneh
# Vendor Homepage: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/translator-poqdev/
# Software Link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/translator-poqdev/
# Version: 1.0.11
# Tested on: Firefox 102.14.0esr (64-bit)
# Description:
The Translator PoqDev add-on of Firefox does not sanitize the entry of a user during translating selected text, so if there are any XSS payloads in selected text, this payload is executed on the user's browser. For example, when a user wants to translate comments that there are on YouTube, if a hacker sets the XSS payload in comments, then the payload via the Translator PoqDev add-on executes on the user's browser and the hacker can steal the user's cookie and access it.
# Proof of concept
1- Install Translator PoqDev 1.0.11 on Firefox.
2- Select a text that includes an XSS payload and after that click on the icon of Translator PoqDev. For example, select the passage below and translate it by add-on.
nice payload: <input type=image src onerror="alert(document.cookie)">
3- The payload is executed on the user's browser and you see the user cooked by via an alert. |
