Advisory Content : -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hardened-PHP Project www.hardened-php.net -= Security Advisory =- Advisory: Serendipity Weblog XSS Vulnerabilities Release Date: 2006/10/19 Last Modified: 2006/10/19 Author: Stefan Esser [sesser (at) hardened-php (dot) net [email concealed]] Application: Serendipity <= 1.0.1 Severity: Multiple XSS vulnerabilities within the administration interface allow Cross Site Scripting attacks against the blog admin Risk: Critical Vendor Status: Vendor has a released an updated version References: http://www.hardened-php.net/advisory_112006.136.html Overview: Quote from http://www.s9y.org "Serendipity is a PHP-powered weblog application which gives the user an easy way to maintain an online diary, weblog or even a complete homepage. While the default package is designed for the casual blogger, Serendipity offers a flexible, expandable and easy-to-use framework with the power for professional applications." During an quick audit of Serendipity it was discovered that multiple XSS vulnerabilities exist in the administration area. Because of this vulnerabilities it is possible for an attacker that tricks an admin into visiting a special prepared website to perform any administrative action in the blog. This includes posting entries or adding additional admin users. Tricking a blog admin to visit a certain website is usually as simple as mentioning an URL in the comments of his blog. Details: Serendipity failed to correctly sanitize user input on the media manager administration page. The content of GET variables were written into JavaScript strings. By using standard string evasion techniques it was possible to execute arbitrary JavaScript. Additionally Serendipity dynamically created a HTML form on the media manager administration page that contained all variables found in the URL as hidden fields. While the variable values were correctly escaped it was possible to break out by specifying strange variable names. Proof of Concept: The Hardened-PHP Project is not going to release exploits for this vulnerability to the public. Disclosure Timeline: 05. October 2006 - Contacted Serendipity developers by email 18.
