Technical Details & Description:
================================
A persistent input validation web vulnerability has been discovered
in
the official VTiger v7.0 CRM open-source web-application.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own malicious
script
codes with persistent attack vector to compromise
browser to web-application requests from the application-side.
The persistent cross site scripting web vulnerability is located
in the
`searchValue` Parameter of the `Emails Compose` module.
Attackers are able to inject own mlicious script code in the `To`
sender
input field of the email compose module to attack other
user accounts. The email can be delivered with multiple
receipients
which allows an attacker to insert the target email and a
malicious payload. The request method to inject is GET via
searchValue
and POST on compose with persistent attack vector.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities results in
session
hijacking, persistent phishing attacks, persistent external
redirects to malicious source and persistent manipulation of
affected
application modules.
Request Method(s):
[+] POST
[+] GET
Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] Email Compose (index.php?module=Emails)
Vulnerable Input(s):
[+] To (Sender - Email)
Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The persistent input validation web vulnerability can be exploited
by
remote attackers with low privileged account and with low user
interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the cross site web
vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to
continue.
PoC: Url
http://localhost:8080/vtigercrm/index.php?module=Vendors&relatedModule=Emails&view=Detail&record=3883&mode=showRelatedList&relationId=62&tab_label=Emails&app=INVENTORY#
Manual steps to reproduce the vulnerability ...
1. Open the web-application ui
2. Login with a regular user role to the ui
3. Open vendors and move to compose to email form
4. Inject malicious payload as "to" sender information and as well
a
valid email to target
5. Send the request after the compose
6. Wait until the administrator or higher privileged targeted
users
click in the email or receives the email on preview
7. Successful reproduce of the cross site scripting web
vulnerability!
