The application uses a mysql database management system in combination with php 7.2. (Copy of the Homepage: https://ultimatefosters.com/docs/ultimatepos/ ) Abstract Advisory Information: ============================== Abstract Advisory Information: ============================== The vulnerability laboratory core research team discovered a non-persistent cross site vulnerability in the Ultimate POS v4.4 erp stock management web-application. Affected Product(s): ==================== thewebfosters Ultimate POS v4.4 - ERP (Web-Application) Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline: ================================== 2021-10-26: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory) Discovery Status: ================= Published Exploitation Technique: ======================= Remote Severity Level: =============== Medium Authentication Type: ==================== Restricted Authentication (Moderator Privileges) User Interaction: ================= Low User Interaction Disclosure Type: ================ Responsible Disclosure Technical Details & Description: ================================ A persistent cross site web vulnerability has been discovered in the Ultimate POS v4.4 erp stock management 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 validation web vulnerability is located in the name parameter of the add products module. Remote attackers with privileges as vendor to add products are able to inject own malicious script codes. The request method to inject is post and the attack vector is persistent. Injects are possible via edit or by a new create of a product. 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 Vulnerable Module(s): [+] Products (Add) Vulnerable Input(s): [+] Product Name Vulnerable Parameter(s): [+] name Affected Module(s): [+] Products List Proof of Concept (PoC): ======================= The persistent web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers with privileged application account and with low user interaction. For security demonstration or to reproduce the cross site web vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.
