~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overview:
COYO is a social intranet software.
The manufacturer describes the product as follows (see [1]):
"COYO is an integrated platform for your official company news, social
collaboration and team messaging."
Due to a missing validation of URLs, COYO is vulnerable to persistent
cross-site scripting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vulnerability Details:
For URLs used by "iFrame" widgets, the server does not validate if they
contain JavaScript calls. Thereby, it is possible to execute JavaScript
code in the context of a user visiting a site prepared with a malicous
widget.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Proof of Concept (PoC):
* Create a page
* Add app > Content
* Add new widget > iFrame
* For URL, insert 'javascript:alert("SySS XSS");' and save
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Solution:
Update to the current version of COYO
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
