Advisory Details: |
High-Tech Bridge SA Security Research Lab has discovered three vulnerabilities in Diem which could be exploited to perform cross-site scripting attacks.
1) Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Diem
1.1 The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation error in the "value" parameter in page metas managing script. 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:
http://host/admin.php/seo/pages/manage-pages/editField?dm_cpi=0&dm_xhr=1&val ue=title"><script>alert( document.cookie)<%2Fscript>&id=&page_id=1&field=title
1.2 The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation error in the "text" parameter in dmCore script. 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:
http://host/admin.php/+/dmCore/markdown?dm_cpi=0&dm_xhr=1&text=title"><scrip t>alert(document.cookie) <%2Fscript>
1.3 The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation error in the "article_form_filter[name][text]" parameter in the blog items filter module. 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.php/content/blog/articles/filter" name="main" >
<input type="hidden" name="article_form_filter[name][text]" value='1"><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>' />
<input type="hidden" name="article_form_filter[is_active]" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="article_form_filter[text][text]" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="article_form_filter[created_by]" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="article_form_filter[created_at]" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="article_form_filter[updated_at]" value="" />
</form>
<script>
