2. Overview
HumHub is a social media platform written in PHP. In version 1.0.1 and earlier,
it is vulnerable to a reflected XSS attack if debugging is enabled, as well as
a self-XSS attack. This allows an attacker to steal cookies, inject JavaScript
keyloggers, or bypass CSRF protection.
3. Details
XSS 1: Reflected XSS
CVSS: Medium 4.3 AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
Description: When the debug mode is enabled, which it is by default, the
UserSearch parameter is vulnerable to reflected XSS. Additionally, the
resulting error page discloses all cookies - even httpOnly cookies -, and the
contents of the $_SERVER array.
Proof of Concept:
http://localhost/humhub-0.20.0/index.php?UserSearch[last_login]=<script>alert
(1)</script>&r=admin%2Fuser
XSS 2: DOM-based Self-XSS
CVSS: Low 2.6 AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
There is a reflected DOM-based self-XSS vulnerability in HumHub. It may be
possible to exploit this issue via ClickJacking in some browsers.
Proof of Concept:
Visit the profile of a user: http://localhost/humhub-0.20.0/index.php?r=
space%2Fspace&sguid=d2f06d0a-47e1-4549-b469-c8a1df48faca In the "What's on your
mind?"-text box enter: '"><img src=no onerror=alert(5)>
4. Solution
To mitigate this issue please upgrade at least to version 1.1.1:
https://www.humhub.org/en/download/default/form?version=1.1.1&type=zip
