Published


Affected Product(s):
====================
GuppY  
Product: Gruppy - Content Management System (Web-Application) 5.01.03


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


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


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Guppy v5.01.03 open-source 
content management system.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject malicious script codes on client-side browser to web-application 
GET method requests.

The vulnerability is located in the groups parameter of the admin.php file. Remote attackers are able to prepare 
special crafted malicious 
links to trigger a client-side cross site scripting issue aginst the cms administrator accounts. The request method to 
inject is GET and 
the attack vector is located on the client-side of the content management system.

The security risk of the non-persistent vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring 
system) count of 3.3. 
Exploitation of the persistent input validation web vulnerability requires no privileged web-application user account 
and only low user interaction. 
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, non-persistent phishing, non-persistent 
external redirects to malicious 
source and non-persistent manipulation of affected or connected application modules.

Request Method(s):
                                [+] GET

Vulnerable Module(s):
                                [+] Administrator Backend - User Management

Vulnerable File(s):
                                [+] admin.php

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                                [+] groups


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without privileged user 
account and with low user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to

method request.
Disallow the usage of special chars to prevent client-side script code injection attacks.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability in the guppy cms groups modul is estimated 
as medium. (CVSS 3.3)
