Vulnerability Details
hi there , While looking around into your web application I noticed in the fields Firstname and Lastname you can set a url . example ` ( http://www.evilsite.com) ` . where I am using special characters like `://` and `.` . but when I try out other special characters - or particularly a payload such as `"><svg/onload=prompt(1)>` , it will not be allowed in the first name and last name fields . which means as a protection mechanism this is getting filtered out along with the additional special characters . again using null valus like `%00%` , is allowed in the fields and updates First name or last name , so it means when you are trying to update your name with such values your name is getting reverted back to the old one . The intended behavior is not applied for all cases , that is why first name and last name can be updated with multiple special characters and null values . I think usage of special characters should be controlled and checked again by you guys . as you are filtering out payloads which potentially contain multiple special characters but you are allowing usage of special characters in under few circumstances . I am also attaching a video . Hope you will check and get back with a response soon . Thanks .
