Affected Product(s):
====================
Network Technologies Inc
Product: Serimux SSH Console Switch - GUI (Web-Application) 2.4


Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Remote


Severity Level:
===============
Medium


Technical Details & Description:
================================
Multiple client-side cross site scripting vulnerabilities has been discovered in the Serimux SSH Console Switch v2.4 
application.
Remote attackers are able to perform malicious client-side request to manipulate browser to web-application requests.

The client-side cross site scripting web vulnerabilities are located in the `PAGE`, `SECTION` and `PORTNUMBER` 
parameters of the 
`portconnect.asp`, `tcpsettings.asp`,`syslog.asp`,`portcnfiguration.asp` and `systeminfo.asp` files. The affected 
modules are 
`./nti/` and ./goform/. The request method to inject is GET and the attack vector is non-persistent. The cross site 
vulnerabilities 
allows to perform malicious client-side attacks to compromise user session credentials or affected web-application 
module context.

The security risk of the vulnerabilities are estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) 
count of 3.4. 
Exploitation of the client-side vulnerabilities requires no privileged web-application user account and only low user 
interaction. 
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in non-persistent phishing attacks, session hijacking, 
non-persistent 
external redirect to malicious sources and non-persistent manipulation of affected or connected web module context.

[+] 2.1 (www.networktechinc.com/download/serimux-ssh-v2-1.tar.gz)


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The cross site scripting web vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers without user account and with low 
user interaction.

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The cross site scripting vulnerabilties can be patched by an input restriction of the vulnerable parameters, 
disallow the usage of special chars on input to prevent further injection attacks. Parse all parameters separatly 
to resolve the issue.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the client-side cross site scripting vulnerabilities are estimated as medium. (CVSS 3.4)
