--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImpressCMS <= 1.4.2 (findusers.php) Incorrect Access Control Vulnerability
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


[-] Software Link:

https://www.impresscms.org


[-] Affected Versions:

Version 1.4.2 and prior versions.


[-] Vulnerability Description:

The vulnerability is located in the /include/findusers.php script:

16. include "../mainfile.php";
17. xoops_header(false);
18.
19. $denied = true;
20. if (!empty($_REQUEST['token'])) {
21. if (icms::$security->validateToken($_REQUEST['token'], false)) {
22. $denied = false;
23. }
24. } elseif (is_object(icms::$user) && icms::$user->isAdmin()) {
25. $denied = false;
26. }
27. if ($denied) {
28. icms_core_Message::error(_NOPERM);
29. exit();
30. } }

This script should be accessible to authenticated users only. However,
because of the "if" statement at lines 20-23, this script could be
accessed by unauthenticated attackers if they will provide a valid
security token. Such a token will be generated in several places within
the application, and some of them do not require the user to be
authenticated, like in the misc.php script. This might be exploited to
access an otherwise restricted functionality of the application, which
in turn might allow an information disclosure about the CMS users.


[-] Solution:

Upgrade to version 1.4.3 or later.


[-] Disclosure Timeline:

[19/01/2021] - Vendor notified through HackerOne
