Public Disclosure: 2019-01-31
CVE Reference: CVE-2018-19498
Author of Advisory: Simon Moser, SySS GmbH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overview:
Pages for Bitbucket Server is a plugin for Bitbucket Server to display HTML
files in a repository.
The manufacturer describes the product as follows (see [1]):
"The Pages plugin allows you to publish static web pages in Bitbucket Server
easily. Repository administrators can enable serving of static web pages for
any existing branch or tag. Once enabled, users will be able to view HTML
files of this branch or tag directly in Bitbucket."
This design allows for cross-site scripting since its injected HTML code
is provided at a subpath of the Bitbucket application.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vulnerability Details:
Published HTML files using the Pages plugin can contain JavaScript code.
Therefore, it is, for instance, possible to access unprotected cookies or to
execute actions on the web interface.
This would not pose a threat if the executed code was contained on
a subdomain or a different path (if Bitbucket himself already uses a subpath),
since most cookies are restricted to their respective path.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Proof of Concept (PoC):
1. Enable Pages for selected branch (Repository settings > Web Pages > Enabled)
2. Upload the following HTML file into this branch:
* git clone <user>@<bitbucket URL>/scm/<project>/<repository>
* cd <repository>
* echo "<html><body><h1>Cookies</h1>
<script>document.write(document.cookie);</script>
</body></html>" > index.html
* git add index.html
* git commit -m "XSS PoC"
* git push
3. Visit https://<bitbucket URL>/pages/<project>/<repository>/browse/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Solution:
Update to the version 2.6.1 or higher of the plugin and disable JavaScript in
custom pages
