-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Advisory ID: SYSS-2019-045 Product: "Scoutnet Kalender" for WordPress Manufacturer: Scoutnet and Björn Stromberg Affected Version(s): 1.1.0 Tested Version(s): 1.1.0 Vulnerability Type: Cross-Site Scripting (CWE-79) Risk Level: Medium Solution Status: Open Manufacturer Notification: 2019-10-23 Solution Date: - Public Disclosure: 2019-12-09 CVE Reference: CVE-2019-19198 Author of Advisory: Simon Moser, SySS GmbH ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Overview: "Scoutnet Kalender" is a plug-in for WordPress to display one oder many Scoutnet calendars as a widget, on a page or an article. Due to a missing input sanitation, it is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vulnerability Details: The plug-in allows to include calendars from Scoutnet into WordPress websites. Calendars are not only included by websites administrated by the same person as the calendar but also by other sites. When events from a calendar are included, the data is not being sanitized. This allows an attacker with control over an embedded calendar to inject scripts into the attacked site. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Proof of Concept (PoC): 1. Create an event with the following value of the "Info" field: 2. Save the event 3. Visit the page where the calendar is embedded ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Solution: As long as the default template is not changed by the manufacturer, SySS GmbH recommends to change the provided template to sanitize fields controlled by other users. If this is not possible because interactive content needs to be included, the set of users with permissions to create and change events should be as small as possible. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Disclosure Timeline: 2019-10-20: Vulnerability discovered 2019-10-23: Vulnerability reported to manufacturer 2019-11-12: Discussion with the manufacturer about security by design 2019-12-09: Public disclosure of vulnerability ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ References: [1] Product website for "Scoutnet Kalender" https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/scoutnet-kalender/ [2] SySS Security Advisory SYSS-2019-045 https://www.syss.de/fileadmin/dokumente/Publikationen/Advisories/SYSS-2019-045.txt [3] SySS Responsible Disclosure Policy https://www.syss.de/en/news/responsible-disclosure-policy/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Credits: This security vulnerability was found by Simon Moser of SySS GmbH.
