~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Overview:

agorum core Pro is a module based Document Management System. It allows 
the customer to buy only required modules and can be extended when 
needed. 

Due to the possibility to upload HTML files that can include JavaScript 
attack vectors, the DMS is vulnerable to persistent cross-site
scripting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vulnerability Details:

SySS GmbH found out that the "file upload" function of the desk4web
module is prone to persistent cross-site scripting attacks as users are 
allowed to upload and display HTML files that include JavaScript code.
This code is executed in the context of other users when opening the 
file and can therefore be used to attack other users.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Proof of Concept (PoC):

In the desk4web module, users are able to upload files. For example, 
a file called "xssattack.html" with the following content can be 
uploaded:
-->

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script>alert("XSS Attack")</script>
</body>
</html>

<!--
When opening this file, the message "XSS Attack" is displayed. As this 
file can be opened by other users, the included JavaScript code can be 
used to attack other users.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Solution:

Update to agorum core 7.11.3. [4]
