Discovery Status:
=================
Published


Affected Product(s):
====================
GuppY  
Product: Gruppy - Content Management System (Web-Application) 5.01.03


Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Remote


Severity Level:
===============
Medium


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability has been discovered in the 
official Guppy v5.01.03 open-source content management system.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject malicious script codes on 
client-side browser to web-application GET method requests.

The vulnerability is located in the groups parameter of the admin.php file. 
Remote attackers are able to prepare special crafted malicious 
links to trigger a client-side cross site scripting issue aginst the cms 
administrator accounts. The request method to inject is GET and 
the attack vector is located on the client-side of the content management 
system.

The security risk of the non-persistent vulnerability is estimated as medium 
with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.3. 
Exploitation of the persistent input validation web vulnerability requires no 
privileged web-application user account and only low user interaction. 
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, 
non-persistent phishing, non-persistent external redirects to malicious 
source and non-persistent manipulation of affected or connected application 
modules.

Request Method(s):
                                [+] GET

Vulnerable Module(s):
                                [+] Administrator Backend - User Management

Vulnerable File(s):
                                [+] admin.php

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                [+] groups


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability can be exploited by 
remote attackers without privileged user account and with low user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the 
provided information and steps below to continue.

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse and encode of the vulnerable 
`groups` parameter in the add GET method request.
Disallow the usage of special chars to prevent client-side script code 
injection attacks.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability in 
the guppy cms groups modul is estimated as medium. (CVSS 3.3)
