Technical details and impact analysis
Hi Dear @chaturbate team
**Vulnerability Type**
> Critical Information Leakage in URLs via Virustotal.
**Vulnerability Severity**
High.
**Description**
During my regular testing, went to https://www.virustotal.com/#%2Fdomain%2Fchaturbate.com
After reviewing all URLs more and more, I got 2 Interesting and Critical Endpoints like this
1) https://chaturbate.com/accounts/autologin/?username=aman4aman&password=Sha1$f5b91$0d6c2c053145a088373344d6fa08e97ce31312c6&next=/accounts/stopemails/
2) https://chaturbate.com/accounts/autologin/?username=haydos1995&password=Sha1$b1d15$90623ee4d02216eb06947fea9770187dd1a1398c&next=/accounts/stopemails/
3) https://chaturbate.com/accounts/autologin/?username=haydos1995&password=Sha1$b1d15$90623ee4d02216eb06947fea9770187dd1a1398c&next=/b/haydos1995
Above URLs are leaking Sensitive Crediantals like Username and Password with Sha1.
This Information helps attackers to get username and password by decryption of sha1.
Password always should be stripped from URLs.
## Impact
Account Takeover using username and decrypted password.
**Remediation**
> Remove Sensitive URLs before leaking username and password. Password should be not send in clear format in the urls. Critical Information like password should not send via URL without stripping.
Thank You.
Happy to Help.
