The persistent validation vulnerability allows remote attacker to inject own malicious script code via persistent attack vector. The security vulnerability is located in the `Browser title` and `Description meta tag` parameters of the `Editing metadata` module. Remote attackers with privilege web-application user accounts are able to inject own malicious script code to the application-side of the vulnerable module. The validation of the `Search engine results preview` is broken and allows to execute any injected code by the `Browser title` and `Description meta tag` input fields. First the content is client-side included via POST and after the save the content is saved permanently in the database management system. Thus allows a privileged application user account like a translator or limited admin to inject malicious script codes. The execution occurs on each preview of the malicious injected item. The security risk of the xss vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.4. Exploitation of the persistent web vulnerability requires a privileged web-application user account and only low user interaction. Successful exploitation of the xss web vulnerability results in persistent phishing attacks, session hijacking, persistent external redirect to malicious sources and persistent manipulation of affected or connected web module context. Request Method(s): [+] POST Vulnerable Modules(s): [+] Forms - Categories - Properties - Metadata & Content Vulnerable Input Field(s): [+] Browser title [+] Description meta tag Affected Modules(s): [+] Editing metadata on review [+] Search engine results preview Proof of Concept (PoC): ======================= The persistent input validation web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers with privileged web-application user account and low user interaction. For security demonstration or to reproduce the issue follow the provided information and steps below to continue. Manual steps to reproduce the vulnerability ... 1. Download and step the newst application version 2. Setup a full admin account and a restricted admin account 3. Login with a restricted administrator account to the web-application 4. Now move to the Forms - Categories - Properties - Metadata & Content Note: Restricted admins are allowed to edit on this part of the forms module the meta data 5. Now inject to the vulnerable input fields a script code payload with for example a cross site request 6. The first execute takes place as self-xss, click the popup and move to the save button (page buttom) 7. Save the content and logout as restricted administrator 8. Login as full admin and move to the forms module 9. Open the new entry of the restricted admin to edit or preview 10. The execution takes place within the formular were the Search engine results preview is visible 11. Successful reproduce of the persistent vulnerability! PoC: Vulnerable Source (Execution Point)
