Technical details and impact analysis
## Disclaimer
I know it's OOS but the issue is pretty serious because of the attractive domain name "new.rubyonrails.org" basically anyone could have put malware there.
## Summary
Hi!
I discovered that new.rubyonrails.org was pointing to an unclaimed Github Page, making it vulnerable to subdomain takeover.
I've managed to claim it in my Github-account and added a simple html file as POC:
{F1548667}
`https://new.rubyonrails.org`
## Mitigation
- Remove the DNS record
Best regards,
nagli
## Impact
Subdomain takeovers can be used for
- Cookies set to the root domain will be shared with this subdomain and can be obtained
- Stored XSS (arbitrary javascript code can be executed in a users browser)
- Phishing
- Hosting malicious content
