Technical Details & Description:
================================
A persistent input validation web vulnerability has been discoveredin the Knap Advanced PHP Login v3.1.3 user management web-application.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own malicious script codes with persistent attack vector to compromise browser to web-application
requests from the application-side.
The persistent cross site web vulnerability is located in the name parameter of the Profile Account - Account Information module.
Remote attackers with ow privileged user accounts are able to inject own malicious script code as name to provoke an execution
of the malicious content inside the users and activity log backend modules. The request method to inject is post. The injection
points are the user create or update and the execution of the maliciou script code occurs in the activity log and users listings.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, persistent phishing attacks, persistent external redirects
to malicious source and persistent manipulation of affected application modules.
Request Method(s):
[+] POST
Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] Register (Site)
[+] Update (Account Information)
Vulnerable Input(s):
[+] Name
Vulnerable Parameter(s):
[+] name
Affected Module(s):
[+] ./users
[+] ./activity
Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The persistent input validation web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers with low privileged user account and low user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the persistent cross site web vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.
Manual steps to reproduce the vulnerability ...
1. Register as user or get registered by the admin
2. Start your web browser and a session tamper or debug tools
3. Open the My Profile menu with the Profile Account information section
4. Change the name input to your script code test payload and save via submit (post)
Note: The injected payload executes successfully in the users list (backend) and within the activity log on history (backend) on preview by admins or mods
5. Successful reproduce of the persistent cross site scripting web vulnerability!
