Advisory Details: |
High-Tech Bridge SA Security Research Lab has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in eazyCMS which could be exploited to perform cross-site scripting attacks.
1) Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in eazyCMS
1.1 The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation error in the "page_id" parameter in eazycms.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:
http://admin.host/eazycms.php?action=&page_id=2%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28doc ument.cookie%29%3C/scrip t%3E
1.2 The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation error in the "filter_keywords" parameter in formedit.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:
http://admin.host/formedit.php?action=list&filter_keywords=%22%3E%3Cscript%3 Ealert%28document.cookie %29%3C/script%3E
1.3 The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation error in the "title" parameter in eazycms_header.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:
http://host/eazycms_header.php?title=%3Cscript%3Ealert%28document.cookie%29% 3C/script%3E
1.4 The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation error in the "username" parameter in indexcms.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.
