Advisory Id: CORE-2010-0406
Advisory URL:
[http://www.coresecurity.com/content/cactushop-xss-persistent-vulnerability]
Date published: 2010-04-20
Date of last update: 2010-04-20
Vendors contacted: Cactusoft International and Cactusoft Ltd.
Release mode: Coordinated release


2. *Vulnerability Information*

Class: Cross site scripting [CWE-79]
Impact: Code execution
Remotely Exploitable: Yes
Locally Exploitable: No
CVE Name: CVE-2010-1486
Bugtraq ID: 39587


3. *Vulnerability Description*

CactuShop [http://www.cactushop.com] is an ASP shopping cart designed
to provide a powerful base for e-commerce web sites hosted on
Microsoft Windows web servers. A Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
vulnerability has been discovered in CactuShop. This vulnerability
occurs in the file that processes the user invoices ('_invoice.asp').
A malicious user can abuse of this flaw by requesting for an invoice
and thus tricking an admin user into issuing him an invoice.


4. *Vulnerable packages*

   . CactuShop v6.1.
   . Older versions are probably affected too, but they were not checked.


5. *Non-vulnerable packages*

   . CactuShop v6.155.


6. *Vendor Information, Solutions and Workarounds*

The change made to the file '_invoice.asp' was to use the 'WriteSafe'
function on lines 88 and 100:

/-----
 87  ...
 88  O_BillingAddress = WriteSafe(replace(O_BillingAddress, vbcrlf &
vbcrlf, vbcrlf))

 99  ...  
100  O_ShippingAddress = WriteSafe(replace(O_ShippingAddress, vbcrlf &
vbcrlf, vbcrlf))  

- -----/
 This function HTML encodes any code an attacker might try to insert
into the addresses to be run. This patch was applied to CactuShop v6.155.


7. *Credits*

This vulnerability was discovered and researched by 7Safe
[http://www.7safe.com/].


8. *Technical Description / Proof of Concept Code*

A Cross Site Scripting vulnerability has been discovered in the file
that processes the user invoices: '_invoice.asp'. This occurs when a
user with a malicious billing address
('"/><script>alert(1);</script>') requests for an invoice and could
thus trick an admin user into issuing him an invoice.
