Advisory Details:

High-Tech Bridge Security Research Lab discovered vulnerability in WikkaWiki, which can be exploited to perform Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks against users of vulnerable application.


1) Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in WikkaWiki: CVE-2013-5586

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitisation of user-supplied data in "wakka" HTTP GET parameter passed to "/sql/" URL. A remote attacker can trick a logged-in user to open a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in browser in context of the vulnerable website.

The exploitation example below uses JavaScript "alert()" function to display user's cookies:

http://[host]/sql/?wakka=sql&wakka=%22onmouseover=%22javascript:alert%28document.cookie%29;%22%3Elink%3C/a%3E
