[CVE-2017-7998] Gespage stored cross-site-scripting (XSS) vulnerability

Gespage is web solution providing a printer portal. The web application does not properly filter several parameters sent by users, allowing XSS code injection

janvier 2, 2018

Description

Gespage is web solution providing a printer portal. Official Website: http://www.gespage.com/

The web application does not properly filter several parameters sent by users, allowing XSS code injection.
These vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject code inside the client web browser, such as malicious scripts in Javascript. Exploitation leads to a full takeover of the web browser and potentially of the operating system.

CVE ID: CVE-2017-7998

Access Vector: remote

Security Risk: high

Vulnerability: CWE-79

CVSS Base Score: 8.6

CVSS Vector String: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N

Proof of Concept 1 (stored XSS)

From the admin panel, it is possible to add a printer with a crafted name:

"><script>alert("printer xss")</script>

If an authenticated user loads the « My Jobs » (« https://URL:7181/gespage/users/prnow.jsp« ) page, his browser processes the Javascript payload, triggering the « printer xss » pop-up message.

Proof of Concept 2 (reflected XSS)

From the registration page, it is possible to inject malicious web code inside all parameters. The POST request looks like the following:

POST /gespage/webapp/users/user_reg.jsp HTTP/1.1

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/51.0
