Title: Code Injection in Epicor Retail Store Help System
CVE: CVE-2015-2210
Vendor: Epicor
Product: CRS Retail Store v3.2.03.01.008 
Affected version: 3.2.03.01.008
Reported by: Zeng Xianbo Joseph (webmaster@...ephzeng.com)
Issue identified by: Zeng Xianbo Joseph and Alshi Shantanu 

OVERVIEW
By design, the POS software requires a higher privileged user (e.g. remote supervisor) to authorize running system commands on the operating system. These include shutting down the system, launching task manager or running arbitrary system commands. An authorized user must successfully provide the correct response code to a challenge code presented by the CRS RetailStore software. This can be bypassed by exploiting the vulnerability identified below.
_______________________________________________________________________

STEPS TO IDENTIFY VULNERABILITY

- From the POS main screen,
1. Click F1 Help button
2. 	Click F5 Void Last Item
3. 	Right click on Help window
4. 	Click View Source
5. 	Insert some JavaScript into the HTML file which creates a button to spawn a command shell
6. 	Save file
7. 	Right click on Help window
8. 	Click Refresh
9. 	Click the newly created button that will spawn a shell
10. If a prompt appears asking for permissions to run ActiveX, click “Yes”

During the test, the system was observed to run the Windows command prompt on Windows XP Embedded. This was performed using an ActiveX JavaScript payload.
_______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
For systems which are using the affected software, the following actions are advised:
* Upgrade affected systems to the latest stable version of CRS Retail Store
* Consider upgrading Windows operating systems to later stable versions such as Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry
* Ensure proper network segmentation and firewalls are configured and placed correctly for networks containing such systems
