Document Title: =============== CentOS Web Panel v0.9.8.12 - Multiple Persistent Web Vulnerabilities References (Source): ==================== http://www.vulnerability-lab.com/get_content.php?id=1836 Release Date: ============= 2018-01-19 Vulnerability Laboratory ID (VL-ID): ==================================== 1836 Common Vulnerability Scoring System: ==================================== 4.4 Vulnerability Class: ==================== Cross Site Scripting - Persistent Current Estimated Price: ======================== 1.000€ - 2.000€ Product & Service Introduction: =============================== CentOS Web Panel - Free Web Hosting control panel is designed for quick and easy management of (Dedicated & VPS) servers without of need to use ssh console for every little thing. There is lot's of options and features for server management in this control panel. CWP automatically installs full LAMP on your server (apache,php, phpmyadmin, webmail, mailserver…). (Copy of the Homepage: http://centos-webpanel.com/features ) Abstract Advisory Information: ============================== The vulnerability laboratory core research team discovered multiple persistent web vulnerabilities in the official CentOS Web Panel v0.9.8.12. Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline: ================================== 2017-01-19: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory) Discovery Status: ================= Published Affected Product(s): ==================== CWP Product: CentOS Web Panel - (CWP) 0.9.8.12 Exploitation Technique: ======================= Remote Severity Level: =============== Medium Technical Details & Description: ================================ Multiple persistent validation web vulnerabilities has been discovered in the official CentOS Web Panel v0.9.8.12. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own malicious script codes to the application-side of the affected vulnerable modules. The vulnerabilities are located in the `id` and `email_address` parameters of the `index.php` file POST method request. Remote attackers are able to inject script code to the POST method request to manipulate the item listing output context. The request method to inject is POST and the attack vector is persistent on the application-side. The injection points are the both add POST method requests and the execution point occurs in the output location of both modules. The security risk of the web vulnerabilities are estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 4.4. Exploitation of the persistent web vulnerabilities requires a low privileged web-application user account and low user interaction. Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities results in session hijacking, persistent phishing attacks, persistent external redirects to malicious source and persistent manipulation of affected or connected application modules. Request Method(s): [+] POST Vulnerable Module(s): [+] phpini_editor [+] mail_add-new Vulnerable File(s): [+] index.php Vulnerable Parameter(s): [+] id [+] email_address Proof of Concept (PoC): ======================= The web vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers with low privileged user account and low user interaction. For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.

Disallow usage of special chars and restrict the parameter input to prevent script code injection attacks. Filter in the output error location or the item listing the vulnerable location were the code point occurs. Security Risk: ============== The security risk of the application-side input validation vulnerabilities in the web-application are estimated as medium.
