Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2017 10:52:19 +0100 From: Vulnerability Lab <research@...nerability-lab.com> To: bugtraq@...urityfocus.com, bugs@...uritytracker.com Subject: BlackBoard LMS 9.1 SP14 - (Title) Persistent Vulnerability Document Title: =============== BlackBoard LMS 9.1 SP14 - (Title) Persistent Vulnerability References (Source): ==================== http://www.vulnerability-lab.com/get_content.php?id=1901 Release Date: ============= 2017-01-10 Vulnerability Laboratory ID (VL-ID): ==================================== 1901 Common Vulnerability Scoring System: ==================================== 3.6 Product & Service Introduction: =============================== Bring your classrooms online with Blackboard's learning management system (LMS) offerings. With tools to engage, collaborate, grade, track assignments and more, you can reach students to ensure they effectively interact with the content and curriculum. Regardless of the environment, there are core components of online learning that enrich the learning process. (Copy of the Homepage: http://www.blackboard.com/learning-management-system/lms-software.aspx ) Abstract Advisory Information: ============================== The vulnerability laboratory core research team discovered a stored cross site scripting vulnerability in the BlackBoard LMS 9.1 SP14 web-application. Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline: ================================== 2017-01-10: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory) Discovery Status: ================= Published Affected Product(s): ==================== BlackBoard Inc. Product: Blackboard LMS - Content Management System 9.1 SP 14 Exploitation Technique: ======================= Remote Severity Level: =============== Medium Technical Details & Description: ================================ A persistent cross site scripting vulnerability has been discovered in the official BlackBoard LMS web-application. The issue allows remote attackers to inject own malicious script codes to the application-side of the vulnerable module. Remote attackers are able to inject malicious java script code into blackboard blog module `Groups -- Group Blogs`, users with low privileged access are able to inject via blog entries name [blog post title] input. The vulnerability is located in the title of the blog entries. The vulnerable parameter `title` becomes stored during the save procedure which results in a persistent attack. The request method to inject the malicious script code is POST. We discovered during the tests that any user (student) can create groups to share blog entries with others users and instructors(admins). The security risk of the xss vulnerabilities are estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.6. Exploitation of the client-side vulnerabilities requires no privileged web-application user account and only low user interaction. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in non-persistent phishing attacks, session hijacking, non-persistent external redirect to malicious sources and non-persistent manipulation of affected or connected web module context. Request Method(s): [+] POST Vulnerable Module(s): [+] ./webapps/blogs-journals/execute/editBlogEntry Vulnerable Parameter(s): [+] title Proof of Concept (PoC): ======================= The application-side web vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers with low privileged application user account and low or medium user interaction. For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue. Manual steps to reproduce ... 1. User(studnet) goes to groups module > Group Blog . 2. Add new Blog Entry and fill the title field with persistent payload ['><img src=x onerror=prompt(vulnlab)>] and save it 3. All group users besides instructor(admin) is on XSS impact remotely 4. User(student) can use this direct link filled with correct blog entries and course id for remote exploitation Note: https://www.coursesites.com/webapps/blogs-journals/execute/viewBlog?course_id=[COURSEID]&blog_id=[BLOGID]&type=blogs&group_id=[GROUPID]#entry[ENTRYID] 5.
