Cross-site Scripting occurrences in Two Factor Authentication Enterprise Server
A stored and reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in WiKID 2FA Enterprise Server through 4.2.0-b2047 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via /WiKIDAdmin/groups.jsp. The groupName parameter is vulnerable: the reflected cross-site scripting occurs immediately after the group is created. The malicious script is stored and will be executed again whenever /WiKIDAdmin/groups.jsp is visited. (2019-10-17, CVE-2019-17116)
A stored and reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in WiKID 2FA Enterprise Server through 4.2.0-b2047 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via /WiKIDAdmin/userPreregistration.jsp. The preRegistrationData parameter is vulnerable: a reflected cross-site scripting occurs immediately after a .csv file is uploaded. The malicious script is stored and can be executed again when the List Pre-Registration functionality is used. (2019-10-17, CVE-2019-17114)
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in WiKID 2FA Enterprise Server through 4.2.0-b2047 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML that is triggered when Logs.jsp is visited. The rendered_message column is retrieved and displayed, unsanitized, on Logs.jsp. A remote attack can populate the rendered_message column with malicious values via: (1) H parameter to /wikid/servlet/com.wikidsystems.server.GetDomainHash (2) S parameter to: - /wikid/DomainData - /wikid/PreRegisterLookup - /wikid/PreRegister - /wikid/InitDevice - /wikid/servlet/InitDevice2S - /wikid/servlet/InitDevice3S - /servlet/com.wikidsystems.server.InitDevice2S - /servlet/com.wikidsystems.server.InitDevice3S - /servlet/com.wikidsystems.server.InitDevice4S - /wikid/servlet/com.wikidsystems.server.InitDevice4AES - /wikid/servlet/com.wikidsystems.server.InitDevice5AES (3) a parameter to: - /wikid/PreRegisterLookup - /wikid/InitDevice - /wikid/servlet/InitDevice2S - /wikid/servlet/InitDevice3S - /servlet/com.wikidsystems.server.InitDevice2S - /servlet/com.wikidsystems.server.InitDevice3S - /servlet/com.wikidsystems.server.InitDevice4S - /wikid/servlet/com.wikidsystems.server.InitDevice4AES - /wikid/servlet/com.wikidsystems.server.InitDevice5AES. (2019-10-17, CVE-2019-17115)
Why Cross-site Scripting can be dangerous
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>
