I just took a 2 second look at audiogalaxy for other ways to get this plaintext cookie and realized that they probably have numerous cross site scripting problems being such a dynamic site. Some parsing appears to be done on user input however this user search script looks partially vulnerable so you don't have to worry about IE bugs and can grab linux user's names and passwords also. I'm sure there are others just by looking at their site layout but I don't have the time to mess with it. Ex: http://www.audiogalaxy.com/user/userSearch.php?SID=34b1859xxxxx0da9ff0cbxxxxx&userSearch=foo%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28document.cookie%29%3C%2Fscript%3E%3C%22bar&searchOption=exact Like Michael stated in an earlier bugtraq post users should chose their passwords wisely and not use the same password for hotmail and mp3 sharing sites as they do to pay their bills online.
