Vulnerability Details
Technical details and impact analysis
**Target:** `Landing.udemy.com`
###Details:
The target subdomain points to _unbounce.com_ service, via a _DNS CNAME_ record. As a result of this, an attacker could potentially initiate a subdomain takeover by registering the subdomain on unbounce.com.
Additionally,
Unbounce is a custom 404-page hosting service, therefore leveraging its functionality an attacker can host custom HTML/Javascript webpage on the domain which will look very legitimate to the end-user and can be used to conduct large-scale phishing/XSS attacks.
###Proof of Concept:
CNAME Record:
>**Cname:** unbouncepages.com
>**Name:** landing.udemy.com
>**Type:** CNAME
>**Class:** IN
>**TTL:** 300
I did not proceed with the takeover, Contacting the support and confirming from them was more sensible.

###Remediation:
Remove the CNAME entry or claim the domain by signing up on unbounce.com
