Technical Details & Description:
================================
A session token vulnerability has been discovered in the official
VestaCP (Control Panel) v0.9.8-26 hosting web-application.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to gain unauthenticated or
unauthorized access by client-side token manipulation.

The token vulnerability is located in the function of the `LoginAs`
module. Remote attackers are able to perform LoginAs requests
without session token to preview there profiles. The attack requires
user account privileges for manipulation of the request.
The admin panel allows to request via token the local user accounts to
login as via account switch. In that moment the token
of the request can be removed to perform the same interaction with user
privileges. Thus allows to access other account
information without administrative permissions. The permission approval
on login request is insufficient regarding a
misconfiguration on the token implementation (client-side).

Successful exploitation of the web vulnerability results in information
disclosure, user or admin account compromise and
elevation of privileges by further exploitation.

Request Method(s):
[+] GET

Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] /login/

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
[+] token

Affected Parameter(s):
[+] loginas


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The token web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers with
simple user privileges without user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the
provided information and steps below to continue.
