Technical Details & Description:
================================
Multiple persistent input validation web vulnerabilities has been
discovered in the official Fork CMS v5.8.0 open-source web-application.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own malicious script
codes with persistent attack vector to compromise browser to
web-application requests from the application-side.

The persistent input validation web vulnerabilities are located in the
`Displayname` input field when using the `Add`, `Edit` or `Register`
mechanism that forwards the information into the `var` parameter. Remote
attackers and privileged application user accounts are able to
inject own malicious persistent script code as the users displayname by
usage of the registration module (/profiles/register). Privileged
users with access to the profile or users module are able to exploit the
issue by a simple inject. The displayname then becomes visible in
the Admin - Profiles Index on Preview, Edit User/Profile, Delete User
Interaction and User Index in Listing modules. the var parameter
does not encode or parse the exisiting injected content and executes it.
The request method to inject is POST and the attack vector of the
vulnerability is located on the application-side of the content
management system. The injection point is located in the registration form
and the add/edit user function. The execution point of the issue occurs
in the preview profile, edit user, user index listing and delete
user message context.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities results in session
hijacking, persistent phishing attacks, persistent external redirects to
malicious source and persistent manipulation of affected application
modules.

Request Method(s):
[+] POST

Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] Register
[+] Add User
[+] Edit User

Vulnerable Input(s):
[+] Displayname

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
[+] var

Affected Module(s):
[+] Preview Profile
[+] Edit User
[+] User Index
[+] Delete User


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The persistent input validation web vulnerabilities can be exploited by
remote attackers with low privileged user account and low user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the security vulnerability
follow the provided information an steüs below to continue.


Manual steps to reproduce the vulnerability ...
1. Open the fork cms web-application newst version
2. Move via sitemap or by link to the registration page
(/modules/profiles/register)
3. Inject your script code payload html/js to the Displayname input field
4. Register the account by pushing submit
5. Activate the link in the account registration email
Note: Now simple wait until the administrator / privileged user visits
the panel to execute the code on interaction or preview only
6. Successful reproduce of the persistent script code injection
vulnerability!

Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the persistent input validation web vulnerabilities
in the fork cms web-application is estimated as high.
