Technical Details & Description:
================================
A filter bypass and persistent web vulnerability has been discovered in the
official China National Vulnerability Database of Information Security.
The filter bypass allows remote attackers to bypass the regular web filter
validation of the cms by usage of prepared malicious and encoded script codes.
The persistent input validation web vulnerability allows remote attackers to
inject own malicious persistent script codes on the application-side of the
vulnerable module.
The vulnerability is located in the edit formular POST method request. The
vulnerable parameter value are `cont_details` and `displayitem`. Remote
attackers and privileged user accounts are able to inject own malicious script
codes on the application-side. The attack vector is persistent and the
injection request method is POST. The validation of the web formular does not
encode base64 strings in html object tags which results in the persistent
execution after the include to the item list via moderation. Attackers can
encode the advisory in a special crafted plain format to provoke a public
execution after the inject. The security risk of the filter bypass and
persistent input validation web vulnerability is estimated as high(+) with a
cvss
(common vulnerability scoring system) count of 5.5(+)|(-)5.6.
Exploitation of the filter bypass and persistent input validation web
vulnerability requires no privileged application user account but a privileged
moderator web-application user account with low user interaction
(verifiy/activate issue). Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results
in
filter validation bypass and session hijacking, persistent phishing, persistent
external redirect and persistent manipulation of affected or
connected module context.
Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] ../vulnerability/show
Vulnerable Parameter(s):
[+] cont_details > displayitem
Affected Module(s):
[+] ../show/cv_id/
Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The filter bypass issue and persistent input validation web vulnerability can
be exploited by remote attackers without privileged application user account
but a privileged moderator web-application user account with low user
interaction (verifiy/activate issue). For security demonstration or to
reproduce the
vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.

Note: The vulnerability was part of the vulnerability exchange partners program
between the cnnvd and vulnerability-labs.
Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure encode and parse of the vulnerable
cont_details > displayitem class values.
Restrict the description input fields and disallow script codes like frames,
alerts and other script code tags.
Encode also the description output website of the ../show/cv_id/ to prevent
execution of already included and wrong encoded advisories in the cnnvd
database.
Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the filter bypass issue and the persistent input
validation web vulnerability is estimated as medium(+).
