Vulnerability overview/description:

1. Arbitrary File Upload
An authenticated user can upload a malicious file to the webserver. It is
possible for an attacker to upload a script which is able to compromise the

This vulnerability allows an authenticated user to inject malicious client
side script which will be executed in the browser of users if they visit
the manipulated site.
Proof of concept:
-----------------
1. Arbitrary File Upload
Below URL is used to upload the malicious file through the attachment
segment.
URL : http://$DOMAIN/index.php/invoices/view/$INVOICE-ID

The following parameters have been found to be vulnerable against
stored cross site scripting. Furthermore, there exist many more
vulnerable parameters.

PAYLOAD : client_name="onmouseover=prompt("XSS")>
URL : http://$DOMAIN/index.php/index.php/users/form/$User-ID
