CommuniGatePro 6.1.16 webmails (crystal, pronto and pronto4) suffer from multiple stored XSS vulnerabilities. The bellow details illustrate the impact of this vulnerability.
Vulnerability Description:
XSS flaws occur whenever an application includes untrusted data in a new web page without proper validation or escaping, or updates an existing web page with user supplied data using a browser API that can create JavaScript. XSS allows attackers to execute scripts in the victim’s browser which can hijack user sessions, deface web sites, or redirect the user to malicious sites.
Vulnerability details (Stored XSS):
This vulnerability allowed us to gain access to the following:
Control the victim's mailbox by just reading my email
Control the victim's computer in case the person uses Internet Explorer 8 which is widely used in our company.
Send emails on behalf the victim
Deface the whole victim mailbox
Invoke the malicious piece of code each time an attachment's sent to the victim.
Vulnerable sections:
Calendar
Files
Tasks
Notes
Inbox
Attack Narratives and Scenarios:
1. Calendar:
Source webmail: tested with gmail and hotmail
Destination webmail: Crystal
In order to deliver our PoC, we have taken the advantages of google calendar to achieve our goal.
PoC:
POST /calendar/event HTTP/1.1
Host: calendar.google.com

Once the victim receives the invitation, he/she will not be obliged to click on any link or download any file. The only condition for this PoC to work is a single click to read the email. Once the victim reads the email, the code gets executed on the victim's browser ending up sending sensitive data to the adversary.
2. Files:
Source webmail: pronto/pronto4/Crystal
Destination webmail: Crystal
In order to leverage this vulnerability, a victim must first acquire a local mailbox. What he/she will do is the following:
Go to file section.
Create a directory
Name the directory with any JavaScript code, in our case (<img src=X onerror=alert(document.cookie)>)
Share or grant access to victim to be able to at least read the content of the directory
The victim then recieves the email of granting access to that directory
The vitim reads the email and then accesses the directory ending up executing the code within its scope of work
3. Notes:
Source webmail: Crystal
Destination webmail: Crystal
In order to leverage this vulnerability, a victim must first acquire a local mailbox. What he/she will do is the following:
Create a note
Put the JavaScript code within it
Share it with the victim
4. Tasks:
Source webmail: pronto/pronto4
Destination webmail: Crystal
In order to leverage this vulnerability, a victim must first acquire a local mailbox. What he/she will do is the following:
Create a task
Put the JavaScript code within the task name
publish it
5. Inbox
Source webmail: pronto/pronto4
Destination webmail: Crystal
In order to leverage this vulnerability, a victim must first acquire a local mailbox. What he/she will do is the following:
Create an html file with malicious JavaScript piece of code
Make use of Pronto to send the email to the victim
The victim reads the email using Crystal webmail and the code gets executed.
Remediation:
Sanitize, escape and validate user supplied data accordingly
