Technical Details & Description:
================================
A filter bypass and persistent web vulnerability has been discovered in the official China National Vulnerability
Database of Information Security.
The filter bypass allows remote attackers to bypass the regular web filter validation of the cms by usage of prepared
malicious and encoded script codes.
The persistent input validation web vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own malicious persistent script
codes on the application-side of the
vulnerable module.
The vulnerability is located in the edit formular POST method request. The vulnerable parameter value are
`cont_details` and `displayitem`. Remote
attackers and privileged user accounts are able to inject own malicious script codes on the application-side. The
attack vector is persistent and the
injection request method is POST. The validation of the web formular does not encode base64 strings in html object tags
which results in the persistent
execution after the include to the item list via moderation. Attackers can encode the advisory in a special crafted
plain format to provoke a public
execution after the inject. The security risk of the filter bypass and persistent input validation web vulnerability is
estimated as high(+) with a cvss
(common vulnerability scoring system) count of 5.5(+)|(-)5.6.
Exploitation of the filter bypass and persistent input validation web vulnerability requires no privileged application
user account but a privileged
moderator web-application user account with low user interaction (verifiy/activate issue). Successful exploitation of
the vulnerability results in
filter validation bypass and session hijacking, persistent phishing, persistent external redirect and persistent
manipulation of affected or
connected module context.
Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] ../vulnerability/show
Vulnerable Parameter(s):
[+] cont_details > displayitem
Affected Module(s):
[+] ../show/cv_id/
Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The filter bypass issue and persistent input validation web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without
privileged application user account
but a privileged moderator web-application user account with low user interaction (verifiy/activate issue). For
security demonstration or to reproduce the
vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.

Note: The vulnerability was part of the vulnerability exchange partners program between the cnnvd and
vulnerability-labs.
Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure encode and parse of the vulnerable cont_details > displayitem class values.
Restrict the description input fields and disallow script codes like frames, alerts and other script code tags.
Encode also the description output website of the ../show/cv_id/ to prevent execution of already included and wrong
encoded advisories in the cnnvd database.
Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the filter bypass issue and the persistent input validation web vulnerability is estimated as
medium(+).
