It's amazing understanding the main problems are always the same problems.... Anyway another XSS Worm but "today" it fights google company!
Orkut is Google’s version of social networking. It was big for a while, but I think everyone bailed in favor of the more open MySpace and Facebook’s of the world. It’s still widely used by the Portuguese population though.
From different sources:
On Orkut, you can use arbitrary HTML when scrapping your friends. Rodrigo's worm exploited this 'feature'. What it did was to start with scrapping a malicious flash file. Just viewing this scrap causes the flash object to load which in turn loads our favourite virus.js file. The Javascript code in that file first joins you in the community called Infectatos pelo Virus do Orkut (in English - Infected by the Orkut Virus) and then sends the same flash file as a scrap to as many people in your friends list as possible. So when each of your friends sees their Scrapbook, they in turn start propagating the worm to their friends, etc.
On November 8th 2006 Rajesh Sethumadhavan discovered a type 2 vulnerability in the social network site Orkut which would make it possible for orkut members to inject HTML and JavaScript into their profile. Rodrigo Lacerda used this vulnerability to create a cookie stealing script known as the Orkut Cookie Exploit which was injected into the orkut profiles of the attacking member(s). By merely viewing these profiles unsuspecting targets had the communities they owned transferred to a fake account of the attacker. On December 12th Orkut had fixed the vulnerability.
