Affected Product(s): ==================== VTExperts Product: VTiger v7.0 - CRM (Web-Application) Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline: ================================== 2020-04-27: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory) 2020-04-28: Researcher Notification & Coordination (Security Researcher) 2020-04-29: Vendor Notification 1 (Security Department) 2020-05-30: Vendor Notification 2 (Security Department) 2020-06-22: Vendor Notification 3 (Security Department) ****-**-**: Vendor Response/Feedback (Security Department) ****-**-**: Vendor Fix/Patch (Service Developer Team) ****-**-**: Security Acknowledgements (Security Department) 2020-11-18: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory) Discovery Status: ================= Published Exploitation Technique: ======================= Remote Severity Level: =============== Medium Authentication Type: ==================== Restricted Authentication (Guest Privileges) User Interaction: ================= Low User Interaction Disclosure Type: ================ Full Disclosure 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.
