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


Affected Product(s):
====================
Ubiquiti Network
Product: Ubnt Store - Web Application (Online-Service) 2015 Q2


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


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


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A non persistent cross site scripting web vulnerability has been discovered in 
the official Cisco Newsroom online service web-application.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to hijack website customer, moderator 
or admin sessions data by client-side manipulated cross site requests.

The vulnerability is located in the `bridgename` value of the 
store.ubnt.com/skin/adminhtml/default/default/media/ service module. The 
injection point 
of the issue is the vulnerable uploader.swf file. Remote attackers are able to 
inject own script codes to the vulnerable GET method request of the 
uploader.swf module.  The attack vector of the vulnerability is located on the 
client-side of the ubnt store web-application. The request method to 
inject the script code to the client-side is `GET`. The execution of the script 
code occurs in the same swf files context.

The security risk of the non-persistent input validation web vulnerability is 
estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 
2.8.
Exploitation of the client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability requires 
low user interaction (click) and no privileged application user account. 
Successful exploitation results in client-side account theft by hijacking, 
client-side phishing, client-side external redirects and non-persistent 
manipulation 
of affected or connected service modules.

Request Method(s):
                                                [+] GET

Vulnerable Service(s):
                                                [+] Ubnt Store - 
(store.ubnt.com/skin/adminhtml/default/default/media/)

Vulnerable Module(s):
                                                [+] uploader.swf

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                                [+] bridgeName


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

PoC: Example
string attack uploader.swf?bridgeName=1``]));}catch(s){alert('hadjisamir')}//

PoC: Payload
https://store.ubnt.com/skin/adminhtml/default/default/media/uploader.swf?bridgeName=1``]));}catch(s){alert('hadjisamir')}//Hadji
 Samir

Reference(s):
http://store.ubnt.com/ in the (uploader.swf)
http://store.ubnt.com/skin/adminhtml/default/default/media/uploader.swf?


Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
Encode the bridgeName value in the uploaded swf files to prevent client-side 
script code injection attacks or cross site scripting.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the client-side cross site scripting web vulnerabilities 
in the swf file is estimated as medium. (CVSS 2.8)
