Remote


Severity Level:
===============
Medium


Technical Details & Description:
================================
Multiple client-side cross site scripting web vulnerabilities has been discovered in the official Nuke Evolution Xtreme 
v2.0.9d CMS.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own malicious script codes to client-side browser to 
web-application requests.

The cross site scripting vulnerabilities are located in the `query` and `ratenum` parameters of the `Download Search` 
module.
The attacker injects the payload to the client-side requested parameter to compromise the `top` and `query` search 
results output.
The injection points are the vulnerable marked parameters and the execution point occurs in the search results output 
web context 
of the `modules.php` file. The request method to inject is variable and can be POST or GET because both methods are 
supported for 
the search module. The output context of the search input is wrong parsed and thus allows to execute client-side script 
code 
in the download search webpage output context.

The security risk of the xss vulnerabilities are estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) 
count of 3.8. 
Exploitation of the client-side vulnerabilities requires no privileged web-application user account and only low user 
interaction. 
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in non-persistent phishing attacks, session hijacking, 
non-persistent external 
redirect to malicious sources and non-persistent manipulation of affected or connected web module context.

Request Method(s):
                        [+] GET
                        [+] POST

Vulnerable Module(s):
                        [+] Downloads - Search

Vulnerable File(s):
                        [+] modules.php

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
                        [+] query
                        [+] ratenum

Affected Version(s):
                        [+] Nuke Evolution: Xtreme v2.0.9d
                        [+] Evo Core: Php-Nuke 7.6p3.1
                        [+] Security: Sentinel v2.6.0.1


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The client-side cross site vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers without privileged user account and 
with low user interaction.

http://nuke-evolution.localhost:8080/nukeevolution/modules.php?name=Downloads&op=MostPopular&ratenum=&ratetype=num


Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse or encode of the vulnerable query and ratenum parameters of the 
modules.php file GET method request.
Disallow the usage of special chars and filter the input to prevent client-side script code injects via POST or GET 
method in the search.
Escape the entries in case of emergency to prevent further injection attacks.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the client-side cross site scripting web vulnerabilities in the nuke evolution extreme cms are 
estimated as medium. (CVSS 3.4)
