Freepbx Cross-site Scripting

An XSS Injection vulnerability exists in Sangoma FreePBX and PBXact 13, 14, and 15 within the Call Event Logging report screen in the cel module at the admin/config.php?display=cel URI via date fields. This affects cel through 13.0.26.9, 14.x through 14.0.2.14, and 15.x through 15.0.15.4. (2020-03-16, CVE-2019-19852)

Multiple XSS vulnerabilities exist in the Backup & Restore module \ v14.0.10.2 through v14.0.10.7 for FreePBX, as shown at /admin/config.php?display=backup on the FreePBX Administrator web site. An attacker can modify the id parameter of the backup configuration screen and embed malicious XSS code via a link. When another user (such as an admin) clicks the link, the XSS payload will render and execute in the context of the victim user's account. (2020-03-16, CVE-2019-19615)

An XSS Injection vulnerability exists in Sangoma FreePBX and PBXact 13, 14, and 15 within the Debug/Test page of the Superfecta module at the admin/config.php?display=superfecta URI. This affects Superfecta through 13.0.4.7, 14.x through 14.0.24, and 15.x through 15.0.2.20. (2020-03-16, CVE-2019-19851)

In userman 13.0.76.43 through 15.0.20 in Sangoma FreePBX, XSS exists in the user management screen of the Administrator web site, i.e., the/admin/config.php?display=userman URI. An attacker with sufficient privileges can edit the Display Name of a user and embed malicious XSS code. When another user (such as an admin) visits the main User Management screen, the XSS payload will render and execute in the context of the victim user's account. (2019-12-06, CVE-2019-19552)

In userman 13.0.76.43 through 15.0.20 in Sangoma FreePBX, XSS exists in the User Management screen of the Administrator web site. An attacker with access to the User Control Panel application can submit malicious values in some of the time/date formatting and time-zone fields. These fields are not being properly sanitized. If this is done and a user (such as an admin) visits the User Management screen and views that user's profile, the XSS payload will render and execute in the context of the victim user's account. (2019-12-06, CVE-2019-19551)

An issue was discovered in Manager 13.x before 13.0.2.6 and 15.x before 15.0.6 before FreePBX 14.0.10.3. In the Manager module form (html\admin\modules\manager\views\form.php), an unsanitized managerdisplay variable coming from the URL is reflected in HTML, leading to XSS. It can be requested via GET request to /config.php?type=tool&display=manager. (2019-10-21, CVE-2019-16967)

An issue was discovered in Contactmanager 13.x before 13.0.45.3, 14.x before 14.0.5.12, and 15.x before 15.0.8.21 for FreePBX 14.0.10.3. In the Contactmanager class (html\admin\modules\contactmanager\Contactmanager.class.php), an unsanitized group variable coming from the URL is reflected in HTML on 2 occasions, leading to XSS. It can be requested via a GET request to /admin/ajax.php?module=contactmanager. (2019-10-21, CVE-2019-16966)

An issue was discovered in FreePBX core before 3.0.122.43, 14.0.18.34, and 5.0.1beta4. By crafting a request for adding Asterisk modules, an attacker is able to store JavaScript commands in a module name. (2019-06-20, CVE-2018-15891)

Cross site scripting is an attack where a web page executes code that is injected by an adversary. It usually appears, when users input is presented. This attack can be used to impersonate a user, take over control of the session, or even steal API keys.

The attack can be executed e.g. when you application injects the request parameter directly into the HTML code of the page returned to the user:

https://server.com/confirmation?message=Transaction+Complete

what results in:

<span>Confirmation: Transaction Complete</span>

In that case the message can be modified to become a valid Javascript code, e.g.:

https://server.com/confirmation?message=<script>dangerous javascript code here</script>

and it will be executed locally by the user's browser with full access to the user's personal application/browser data:

<span>Confirmation: <script>dangerous javascript code here</script></span>
