We have created Robot Don, machine learning tool that facilitates essay writing, free for all students. We continuously receive bug reports and suggestions from different areas. To honor the bright external contributions that help us build a better product we have launched a Bug & Ideas Hunting (BIH) Contest for Robot Don. Any of service or feature provided by Robot Don software is intended to be in scope of this scholarship/ contest. This includes all content and algos available through robotdon.com (Copy of the Vendor Homepage: http://edusson.com/robot-don ) Abstract Advisory Information: ============================== The vulnerability laboratory core research team discovered a client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability in the official Edusson Robotdon web-application. Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline: ================================== 2016-06-10: Researcher Notification & Coordination (Benjamin Kunz Mejri) 2016-06-11: Vendor Notification (Edusson Security Team) 2016-06-20: Vendor Response/Feedback (Edusson Security Team) 2016-**-**: Vendor Fix/Patch (Edusson Robotdon Developer Team) 2016-11-04: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory) Discovery Status: ================= Published Affected Product(s): ==================== Edusson Product: Robotdon - Online Service (Web-Application) 2016 Q2 Exploitation Technique: ======================= Remote Severity Level: =============== Medium Technical Details & Description: ================================ A client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Edusson RobtoDon (Tools) online service web-application. The non-persistent vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own malicious script codes on client-side browser to web-application requests. The vulnerability is located in the keyword parameter of the relevancy module POST method request. Remote attackers are able to inject own malicious script codes to the Check input context with the vulnerable keyword parameter. The injection point of the vulnerability is the Check input form with the wrong encoded keyword parameter. The execution point occurs in the error exception-handling of the check module within the displayed invalid context. The attacker vector of the vulnerability is non-persistent on the client-side and the request method to inject the payload is POST. The vulnerability allows an attacker to inject malicious codes to the non-protected queue of the check with the vulnerable exception. The error code is marked with a automated information to report the error (alert alert-danger ps fix!) which has been resolved by thus report. The security risk of the client-side vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.4. Exploitation of the persistent non-persistent web vulnerability requires a low privileged user account and only low user interaction (click). Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in non-persistent phishing, session hijacking, non-persistent external redirect to malicious sources and client-side manipulation of affected or connected module context. Request Method(s): [+] POST Vulnerable Module(s) [+] Relevancy (robotdon) Vulnerable Input(s): [+] Check Vulnerable Parameter(s) [+] keyword Affected Module(s) [+] Exception-Handling - Message Context on Error Proof of Concept (PoC): ======================= The non-persistent cross site web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers with low privileged user account and low user interaction. For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue. Manaul steps to reproduce the vulnerability ... 1. Open the company website and login to your low privileged user account 2. Click the Relevancy module 3. Inject the test payload to the input field 4. Click the check button to process the POST method request 5. The code executes in the exception of the invalid keyword input within the website context 6. Successful reproduce of the vulnerability PoC: Vulnerable Source <div class="alert alert-danger">Text is not relevant specified word.

Restrict the post method request and parse the keyword value by disallowing the usage of special chars to prevent client-side script code injection attacks. Parse the exception error output context that displays the input again with insecure encode. Security Risk: ============== The security risk of the client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability in the robotdon web-application is estimated as medium.
