Product & Service Introduction: =============================== Developed with a new improved and powerful core. Handy User interface to manage your business. Maximum security for you and your members. (Copy of the Homepage: https://www.evolutionscript.com/ ) Abstract Advisory Information: ============================== The vulnerability laboratory core research team discovered a client-side cross site scripting vulnerability in the official Evolution Script v5.3 Content Management System. Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline: ================================== 2017-06-07: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory) Discovery Status: ================= Published Affected Product(s): ==================== Evolution Script S.A.C. Product: Evolution Script - Content Management System (Web-Application) 5.3 Exploitation Technique: ======================= Remote Severity Level: =============== Medium Technical Details & Description: ================================ A client-side cross site scripting vulnerability has been discovered in the official Evolution Script v5.3 Content Management System. The issue allows remote attackers to inject script code with client-side attack vector to compromise browser to application requests. The cross site vulnerability is located in the `status` parameter of the `Ticket Support` module. Remote attackers are able to inject own malicious script codes via GET method request. The attack vector is non-persistent and the request method to inject is GET. The vulnerability affects the support and administrator role in the ticket support module. The security risk of the vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.2. Exploitation of the cross site vulnerability requires no privileged web-application user account and low user interaction. Successful exploitation results in session hijacking, non-persistent phishings attacks, non-persistent external redirect and malware loads or non-persistent manipulation of affected and connected module context. Request Method(s): [+] GET Vulnerable Module(s): [+] Support Tickets Vulnerable Parameter(s): [+] status Affected Role(s): [+] Support [+] Admin Proof of Concept (PoC): ======================= The client-side cross site scripting vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without user account and with low user interaction. For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.
