Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline: ================================== 2016-06-06: Public Disclosure (Aaditya Purani) Discovery Status: ================= Published Affected Product(s): ==================== Go Responsive (Themes) Product: Levo-Slideshow - Wordpress Plugin (Web-Application) 2.3 Exploitation Technique: ======================= Remote Severity Level: =============== Low Technical Details & Description: ================================ A persistent cross site scripting web vulnerabilities has been discovered in the official Levo-Slideshow v2.3 wordpress plugin. The client-side validation issue allows remote attacker to inject client-side script codes to compromise browser to application requests. The vulnerability is located in the `image_description`parameter of the `Lenvo Image Upload` module. Remote attackers are able to inject client-side script code. The `image_description` value is wrong encoded and not filtered by the regular validation. The attack vector of the issue is client-side and the request method to execute is GET. The security risk of the client-side vulnerabilities is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 2.5. Exploitation of the security vulnerability requires no a privileged web-application user account and low user interaction. Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities results in session hijacking, non-persistent phishing, non-persistent external redirects, non-persistent load of malicious script codes or non-persistent web module context manipulation. Request Method(s): [+] POST Vulnerable Input(s): [+] Image Title [+] Image Description Affected Module(s): [+] Edit Post Proof of Concept (PoC): ======================= The persistent cross site scripting vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without user interaction and with an uprivileged application user account.
