Dailymotion API is widely used by developers and companies for integrating video streaming services into their applications. The API provides access to features like video upload, management, and sharing across platforms. It is supported by various frontend technologies and can be embedded in mobile and web applications. Developers use it to enhance user engagement by incorporating multimedia content. The Dailymotion API is a valuable tool for creating content-rich applications and services, supporting diverse media consumption needs.
The detected vulnerability is a Content-Security-Policy (CSP) bypass that can lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. CSP is a security feature that helps prevent various web vulnerabilities by restricting resources that can be loaded for a given page. Bypassing CSP can allow unauthorized scripts to be executed in a user's browser. This could lead to data theft, session hijacking, or unauthorized actions being taken on behalf of the user. It is crucial to identify and mitigate CSP bypass vulnerabilities to safeguard web applications.
The technical details of this vulnerability involve injecting malicious scripts through API endpoints that incorrectly implement CSP. The vulnerable endpoint likely fails to sanitize certain input parameters, allowing the execution of unauthorized scripts. The vulnerability targets Dailymotion's API endpoints where Content-Security-Policy headers are not properly enforced. This type of flaw can often be detected where the CSP headers are weak or misconfigured, leaving applications susceptible to injection attacks.
When exploited by attackers, CSP bypass vulnerabilities can lead to severe consequences such as data theft, user impersonation, and unauthorized transactions. Users' sensitive information, including login credentials and personal data, can be compromised. Attacks could also result in financial losses, reputation damage, and legal liability for application owners. Adequate safeguards and proper CSP configuration are essential to mitigating these risks.
