Sec-Tec Advisory - XSS in Snitz Forums 2000

The most up to date version of this advisory can always be found at:
www.sec-tec.co.uk/vulnerability/snitzxss.html

Advisory creation date: 6th May 2004
Product: Snitz Forums 2000
Tested version: 3.4.04 (older versions believed to be affected also)
Vulnerability: XSS
Discoverd by: Pete Foster - Sec-Tec Ltd (www.sec-tec.co.uk)

Product:
Snitz Forums 2000 is an interactive discussion environment that allows
different people on the Internet or an Intranet to leave messages for each
other, and then reply.

Description:
When registering a new account the register.asp script fails to properly
sanitize the E-mail address (Email) field. An attacker can enter specially
crafted strings into this field that can allow him to launch cross-site
scripting (XSS) attacks. Successful exploitation of this could lead to the
theft of sensitive information, such as valid session details.

Affected object:
register.asp

POC Exploit:
When registering a new account (or ammending an existing one), enter the
following as an email address:
p@p" onMouseOver="alert(document.cookie);

When a user then follows a link to send the attacker an email, the script
code is executed.


Fix:
The Email field should be filtered to remove dangerous characters.

The vendor has given details that fixes the symptoms.

--- Vendor quote ---

On line #184 of pop_mail.asp:

Change this: rs("M_EMAIL")

To this: chkString(rs("M_EMAIL"),"display")

--- End vendor quote ---
