Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-20: Improper Input Validation, where the product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. In Froxlor/froxlor, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

Dear Sirs and Madams, I would like to report a business logic error vulnerability that I discovered during my recent penetration test on Froxlor. Specifically, I identified an issue where it was possible to submit the registration form with the essential fields, such as the username and password, left intentionally blank. This inadvertent omission allowed for a bypass of the mandatory field requirements established by the system. The surname, family name AND company name all of them can be left blank. I believe addressing this vulnerability is crucial to ensure the security and integrity of the Froxlor platform. Thank you for your attention to this matter. This action served as a means to bypass the mandatory field requirements. Lets see (please have a look at the Video -> attachment). ---------------- as you can see i was able to let the username and second name blank. https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/80028768/289675319-81ae8ebe-1308-4ee3-bedb-43cdc40da474.mp4 Lets see again. Only the company name is set. Thank you for your time ![Froxlor 2](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/80028768/289685700-73936e19-befa-4442-a258-7814f2ec4598.png) ![Froxlor 1](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/80028768/289685710-a5785f49-d2b2-40d4-bf8f-a286df48dd36.png)
