A flaw in taxi cab network Uber’s site allowed a security researcher to manipulate the firm’s home page and display an ad for rival Lyft, it has been claimed.
The flaw allegedly concerns Uber’s petitions, which appear to now have been taken offline. The security researcher, Austin Epperson, claimed that he was filling in an Uber petition on its site when he noticed that the form allowed non-numeric and special character inputs into a ‘zip code’ field.
