#Title: Cross Site Scripting in Official Harvard Law Website
Vector of operation: Remote
Impact: Cross Site Scripting & Content Spoofing
*Description:
The vulnerability is caused due to insufficient input validation in the parameter
“movieName” and "buttonText" in the script to swfupload.swf “ExternalInterface.call ()”. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user’s browser session in
context of an affected site.
There are two vulnerabilities in Official Harvard Law Website.
*Content Spoofing

It's possible to inject text, images and html (e.g. for link injection).
*Cross-Site Scripting
http://[victim]/include/SWF/swfupload.swf?movieName=<a href='javascript:alert(document.cookie)'>Click Me</a>
or
http://[victim]/include/SWF/swfupload.swf?movieName="]);}catch(e){}if(!self.a)self.a=!alert("xss");//
Code will execute after click. It's strictly social XSS.
