Using HTTP headers pollution for mobile networks attacks
Softpedia reports Bogdan Alecu's EUSecWest research on mobile operator portals. Carriers and their content partners identify subscribers by HTTP headers injected at the gateway, so adding or altering those headers lets an attacker browse the portal as any customer knowing only their phone number. Most tested operators worldwide were vulnerable, enabling purchases and account changes.
