Injection vulnerabilities in popular WordPress plugin could expose credentials, allow admin access

Researchers have uncovered a large, tangled web of infrastructure being used to enable a wide variety of cyberattacks.

In “Camaleon CMS” application, versions 0.0.1 to 2.6.0 are vulnerable to stored XSS, that allows unprivileged application users to store malicious scripts in the comments section of the post. These scripts are executed in a victim’s browser when they open the page containing the malicious comment.

In “OpenCMS”, versions 10.5.0 to 11.0.2 are affected by a stored XSS vulnerability that allows low privileged application users to store malicious scripts in the Sitemap functionality. These scripts are executed in a victim’s browser when they open the page containing the vulnerable field.

Open redirect vulnerability in Cybozu Remote Service 3.0.0 to 3.1.9 allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks via unspecified vectors.

SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform (Crystal Reports) - versions 420, 430, allows an unauthenticated attacker to exploit missing XML validations at endpoints to read sensitive data. These endpoints are normally exposed over the network and successful exploitation can enable the attacker to retrieve arbitrary files from the server.

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Orbital could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to redirect users to a malicious webpage. This vulnerability is due to improper validation of URL paths in the web-based management interface. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user to click a crafted URL. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to redirect a user to a malicious website. This vulnerability, known as an open redirect attack, is used in phishing attacks to persuade users to visit malicious sites.

In all versions of GitLab CE/EE since version 7.7, the application may let a malicious user create an OAuth client application with arbitrary scope names which may allow the malicious user to trick unsuspecting users to authorize the malicious client application using the spoofed scope name and description.

In “Calibre-web” application, v0.6.0 to v0.6.12, are vulnerable to Stored XSS in “Metadata”. An attacker that has access to edit the metadata information, can inject JavaScript payload in the description field. When a victim tries to open the file, XSS will be triggered.

OpenVPN Access Server 2.9.0 through 2.9.4 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the web login page URL.

A Stored XSS exists in TinyFileManager All version up to and including 2.4.6 in /tinyfilemanager.php when the server is given a file that contains HTML and javascript in its name. A malicious user can upload a file with a malicious filename containing javascript code and it will run on any user browser when they access the server.

The SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform version - 420 allows an attacker, who has basic access to the application, to inject a malicious script while creating a new module document, file, or folder. When another user visits that page, the stored malicious script will execute in their session, hence allowing the attacker to compromise their confidentiality and integrity.
