Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'), where the product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. In UnoPim Stored XSS, 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

### Summary A vulnerability exists in the Create User process, allowing the creation of a new admin account with an option to upload a profile image. An attacker can upload a malicious SVG file containing an embedded script. When the profile image is accessed, the embedded script executes, leading to the potential theft of session cookies. ### Details 1. Login as admin 2. Go to Create User 3. Fill up everything in the registration form then upload SVG image as a profile picture 4. In SVG image, add script tag to prepare for XSS attack 5. Complete the Create User process 6. Right click at the image to obtain image URL address 7. XSS triggered ### PoC The below link is a private YouTube video for PoC. https://youtu.be/5j8owD0--1A ### Impact The stored XSS can lead to session hijacking and privilege escalation, effectively bypassing any CSRF protections in place.
