Technical details and impact analysis
Hello Smule Security Team,
I'm cryptic_, I have identified that the affected url points to sendgrid.net, via a DNS CNAME record. As a result of this an attacker could potentially initate a subdomain take over by registering the subdomain email.smule.com on sendgrid and consiquently leverage this for further attacks. Additionally it has been noted that sendgrid is a service for email marketing so theoretically should an attacker be able to gain access to the subdomain they could potentially gain access to emails too.
## Affected URL
email.smule.com
## Steps To Reproduce:
1. Go to email.smule.com
2. You will see 404 Not Found
1. Use this command to see the CNAME Record - dig
## Risk Breakdown
Risk: Medium
Difficulty to Exploit: Medium
Authentication: None
## Recommended Fix
Check your DNS-configuration for subdomains pointing to services not in use.
Set up your external service so it fully listens to your wildcard DNS.
