Class: Persistent Cross-Site Scripting Severity: High
Overview:
---------
Micro CMS is prone to Persistent Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability.
Technical Description:
----------------------
Micro CMS is prone to a Persistent Cross-Site vulnerability because it fails to
properly sanitize user-supplied input.
Input passed via the 'name' parameter(also in text-area) in a comment section
to "comments/send/" is not properly verified before it is returned to the
user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a
user's browser session in the context of a vulnerable site. This may allow
the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication and to launch further attacks.
The exploit has been tested in Micro CMS 1.0 beta 1
Impact:
--------
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary HTML and script
code in a user's browser session in the context of a vulnerable site.
Affected Software:
------------------
Micro CMS 1.0 beta 1 and prior
