1. General Overview
===================
During the security audit of Magento Community Edition / Open Source and
Commerce, a Cross-site Request Forgery and Stored Cross-Site Scripting
vulnerabilities were discovered that could lead to administrator account
takeover, putting the website customers and their payment information at
risk.


2. Software Overview

provides online merchants with a flexible shopping cart system, as well
as control over the look, content andfunctionality of their online store.

3. Vulnerability Description
==================================
There is a Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability present in Customer
Groups when a POST request is changed to GET on saving changes to existing
groups (/customer/group/save/). When the request method is switched, the
lack of form_key parameter which serves as a CSRF token is completely
ignored.

Group Name parameter (code) is prone to the Stored Cross-Site Scripting
vulnerability and the injected JavaScript code will execute on several
pages when the customer group is shown (on viewing individual orders,
individual customers, etc). An attacker can chain a CSRF attack to
redirecting the admin to one of those pages. Malicious code may lead to
admin session hijacking (although the admin SID cookie is set to HttpOnly,
there are number of ways to retrieve the admin SID on Magento that do not
require cookies). Prerequisite to this attack is that "Add Secret Keys to
URLs" option is disabled.
