Advisory ID: HTB23156 Product: Xaraya Vendor: Xaraya Development Group Vulnerable Version(s): 2.4.0-b1 and probably prior Tested Version: 2.4.0-b1 Vendor Notification: May 15, 2013 Public Disclosure: June 26, 2013 Vulnerability Type: Cross-Site Scripting [CWE-79] CVE Reference: CVE-2013-3639 Risk Level: Low CVSSv2 Base Score: 2.6 (AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N) Solution Status: Solution Available Discovered and Provided: High-Tech Bridge Security Research Lab ( https://www.htbridge.com/advisory/ ) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advisory Details: High-Tech Bridge Security Research Lab discovered four XSS vulnerabilities in Xaraya, which can be exploited to perform cross-site scripting attacks against administrators of vulnerable application. 1) Multiple Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in Xaraya: CVE-2013-3639 1.1 The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitisation of user-supplied data passed via the "id" HTTP GET parameter to "/index.php" script. A remote attacker can trick a logged-in administrator to open a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in browser in context of the vulnerable website. The exploitation example below uses the "alert()" JavaScript function to display administrator's cookies: http://xaraya/index.php?func=modinfonew&id=%3Cscript%3Ealert%28document.cookie%29;%3C/script%3E&module=modules&type=admin 1.2 The vulnerability exists due to insufficient filtration of user-supplied data passed via the "interface" HTTP GET parameter to "/index.php" script. A remote attacker can trick a logged-in administrator to open a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in browser in context of the vulnerable website. The exploitation example below uses the "alert()" JavaScript function to display administrator's cookies: http://xaraya/index.php?block_id=7&func=modify_instance&interface=%3Cscript%3Ealert%28document.cookie%29;%3C/script%3E&module=blocks&tab=config&type=admin 1.3 The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitisation of user-supplied data passed via the "name" HTTP GET parameter to "/index.php" script. A remote attacker can trick a logged-in administrator to open a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in browser in context of the vulnerable website. The exploitation example below uses the "alert()" JavaScript function to display administrator's cookies: http://xaraya/index.php?func=aliases&module=modules&name=%3Cscript%3Ealert%28document.cookie%29;%3C/script%3E&type=admin 1.4 The vulnerability exists due to insufficient filtration of user-supplied data passed via the "tabmodule" HTTP GET parameter to "/index.php" script. A remote attacker can trick a logged-in administrator to open a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in browser in context of the vulnerable website. The exploitation example below uses the "alert()" JavaScript function to display administrator's cookies: http://xaraya/index.php?func=assignprivileges&module=privileges&tab=authsystem&tabmodule=%3Cscript%3Ealert%28document.cookie%29;%3C/script%3E&type=admin ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Solution: Vendor did not reply to numerous notifications.
