Remote
Severity Level:
===============
Medium
Technical Details & Description:
================================
An application-side input validation web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Jease v2.11 Content Management System.
The vulnerability allows an attacker to inject own script code as payload to the application-side of the vulnerable service function.
The vulnerability is located in the content values of the create function. Local attackers with low privileged application user accounts
are able to manipulate the content input values by usage of the create functions. The execution of the persistent script code occurs in
the view browser module of the content management system. The attack vector is persistent on the application-side and the request method
to inject is POST. The issue allows to transfer persistent malicious script codes to the frontend service.
The security risk of the application-side web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.7.
Exploitation of the application-side web vulnerability requires a low privileged web-application user account and low user interaction.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in persistent phishing mails, session hijacking, persistent external redirect to malicious
sources and application-side manipulation of affected or connected module context.
Request Method(s):
[+] POST
Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] Create
