Exploit Turns Anti-Piracy Agency Site Into The Pirate Bay
"Today, another fail was added to the ever growing list. In what could easily be an April fools joke, but isn’t, the President of the French Pirate Party Paul Da Silva has revealed an interesting exploit he discovered on the Hadopi site.
To assist the public in finding authorized sources to download movies and music on the Internet, the Hadopi agency launched a new search engine on its site earlier this week. A useful feature, but also one that turned out to be very easy to exploit, Da Silva told TorrentFreak.
It took the Pirate Party President just 10 minutes to find an XSS vulnerability that replaced the Hadopi search engine with that of The Pirate Bay. As can be seen in the picture below the Hadopi site even featured Pirate Bay’s logo, the most recognizable pirate icon on the Internet."
