A security weakness in Barack Obama’s<\/a> website has been exploited to redirect visitors to Hillary Clinton’s<\/a> website. Visitors who viewed the Community Blogs<\/a> section of the site were instead presented with Clinton’s website as a result of a cross-site scripting vulnerability.<\/p>\n

A user named Mox, from Liverpool, IL, posted an apparent confession<\/a> in the Community Blogs section on the Barack Obama website yesterday. The subject of the post was, “I am the one who “hacked” Obamas site.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

Mox plays down the matter by saying that all he did was exploit some poorly written HTML code before suggesting that it was a cross-site scripting vulnerability that had been exploited. By allowing users to enter characters such as > and ” into their blog URLs, JavaScript could be injected into pages in the Community Blogs section and would be executed by subsequent visitors.<\/p>\n

A YouTube clip from zennie62 demonstrates the attack<\/a>. The clip shows a user clicking on the Community Blogs section of the Barack Obama site, which subsequently causes the browser to redirect to hillaryclinton.com<\/a>. The author speculates that “Senator Clinton’s staffers possibly hired someone to hack into the Barack Obama website system<\/em>.” No evidence is offered to back up this statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
