Home / exploits SilverStripe 2.4.7 Open URL Redirection
Posted on 15 October 2012
1. OVERVIEW SilverStripe 2.4.7 and lower versions are vulnerable to Open URL Redirection. 2. BACKGROUND SilverStripe CMS is easy for both developers and content authors to work with. The SilverStripe Framework keeps the code tucked away neatly so that it can be accessed easily by programmers but does not get in the way of content authors. 3. VULNERABILITY DESCRIPTION SilverStripe CMS contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site redirection attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the "BackURL" parameter upon submission to the "/index.php/Security/login" script. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL, that if clicked, would redirect a victim from the intended legitimate web site to an arbitrary web site of the attacker's choosing. 4. VERSIONS AFFECTED Tested on 2.4.7 5. PROOF-OF-CONCEPT/EXPLOIT http://localhost/index.php/Security/login?BackURL=//yehg.net 6. SOLUTION Upgrade to the latest 3.x version. 7.
