Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline: ================================== 2020-04-28: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory) Discovery Status: ================= Published Exploitation Technique: ======================= Remote Severity Level: =============== Medium Authentication Type: ==================== Restricted authentication (user/moderator) - User privileges User Interaction: ================= Low User Interaction Disclosure Type: ================ Independent Security Research Technical Details & Description: ================================ A persistent input validation web vulnerability has been discovered in the official POS PHP v17.5 web-application. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own malicious script codes with persistent attack vector to compromise browser to web-application requests from the application-side. The persistent web vulnerability is located in the firstname and lastname parameter of the customer profile module. Remote attackers are able to change or add malicious script code as firstname and lastname to customer profiles. Thus allows to execute the script code with persistent attack vector against administrators in the backend in the /customers/ or customers/save/ modules. The request method to inject is POST via add or edit of the customer and the attack vector is located on the application-side. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, persistent phishing attacks, persistent external redirects to malicious source and persistent manipulation of affected application modules.
