Google is a subcontractor for them? :)

(It's *amazing* how many sites rely on "nobody knows the URL", but the
URL in question is known to Google ;)

The URL is publically visible in address bar if you open the site on Chrome.
Not sure how are you categorizing it as "no one knows the url"

Try the "Email this Article" link on the page below:

That... ahem... particular company has had that particular page
(/MCS/email.apsx) in one form or another for a long time, since the late
90s at least, when it was a cgi app.  

IIRC, at one time you could SPAM anyone through it, but they learned
their lesson and now you can only SPAM the company's employees.
Considering the business they're in (think "SCADA" related) this could
be a Bad Thing.  The XSS is just the icing on the cake.

I find it interesting that they "upgraded" it to SharePoint.

It's an in-house app, one of several.  I believe the security model used
to be "no one knows the URL".  

I'm guessing you're a contractor for that particular company because,
after all, no one knows the URL.

[Full-disclosure] XSS Vulnerability in www.emerson.com

2011-09-04 Thread Madhur Ahuja
One of the pages in Emerson site are rendering the query string parameter
without any inspection. This makes it possible to inject malicious content
as shown below:


http://www.emerson.com/_layouts/MCS/Email.aspx?Title=%3Cimg%20src='http://www.emerson.com/SiteCollectionImages/local/united-states/english/fastpath/INBDB%2020110225.jpg'%3E
