Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline: ================================== 2016-02-17: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory) Discovery Status: ================= Published Exploitation Technique: ======================= Remote Severity Level: =============== Medium Technical Details & Description: ================================ A GET cross site scripting web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Netlife Photosuite Pro Content Management System. A vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject malicious script codes on the client-side of the affected web-application. The vulnerability is located in the `title` input field of the `work/upload.php` file. Remote attackers are able to inject own malicious script codes to the client-side of the affected web-application. The request method to inject is POST and the attack vector is client-side. The attacker injects the payload in the vulnerable input field to execute the code in view.php. The security risk of the client-side web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.3. Exploitation of the non-persistent cross site scripting web vulnerability requires low privileged web-application user account and low user interaction. Successful exploitation results in session hijacking, persistent phishings attacks, persistent external redirect and malware loads or persistent manipulation of affected or connected module context. Request Method(s): [+] POST Vulnerable Module(s): [+] work/ Vulnerable File(s): [+] upload.php [+] view.php Vulnerable Parameter(s): [+] title Proof of Concept (PoC): ======================= The vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without web-application user account and low user interaction.
