eMedia Consulting simpleRedak - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting

A reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in the /view/cb/format_642.php component.

The vulnerability was reported as CVE-2023-33761.

Versions affected: simpleRedak <= 2.47.23.05

Figure 1: Reflected XSS via injecting a malicious string into a URL parameter

Background

An attacker may craft a malicious link that contains an XSS payload. Should the victim click on the link, this could lead to XSS in their browser window.

Steps to Reproduce

For the proof-of-concept screenshots we have used the following payload:

<url>/module/castingbogen/view/cb/format_642.php/qyhgn%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert(document.location)%3C/script%3Eb0uud?code=dd3c28e36a&cast=2479882

Root Cause

This issue exists due to insufficient input filtering in a form that reflects the full URL in the “action” attribute value. By supplying a double quote character (") it is possible to break out of the attribute string and inject custom HTML.
