Technical Details & Description:
================================
Multiple client-side cross site vulnerabilities has been discovered in the User Agent String Switcher online web service.
The vulnerability allows to inject own malicious script code to client-side browser requests.
The vulnerability is located in the input field of the browser switcher user agent. The user agent input field
can be used to inject malicious script code. After the inject the app allows to perform a test using the mozilla
developer webbrowsertools.com domain. At the domain service the user has the ability to preview his own actual
new setup user agent client (./useragent/). The malicious execution of the script code takes place in the affected
window.navigator, ua-parser-js and platform.js. The request is performed using GET ?method=normal&verbose=false&r.
The vulnerability can be used to trigger a remote cross site scripting issue with low required user interaction.
Inject of malformed or malicious script codes allows attackers to external redirect, attack via cross site request
forgery, phishing attempts or non-persistent further manipulation of the affected web module context.

Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The security web vulnerability can be exploited by local and remote attackers with low user interaction(click).
For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.
Manual steps to reproduce (Local) ...
1. Open the mozilla web browser
2. Install the user agent string switcher addon for mozilla
3. Open it and inject the test payload or your test script code to the user agent input field at the buttom of the addon
4. Apply the settings and open the test page
5. Switch with the tab through the affected file types
6. Successful reproduce of the vulnerability!
Manual steps to reproduce (Remote) ...
1. Prepare a get method request with the local injection description above
2. Copy the links with the correct r parameter to display the contents and execute the script code on client-side
3. Successful reproduce of the vulnerability!
