Cross-Site Scripting

Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities allow a third party to manipulate the content or behaviour of a web application in a user's browser, without compromising the underlying system.

Different Cross-Site Scripting related vulnerabilities are also classified under this category, including "script insertion" and "cross-site request forgery".

Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities are often used against specific users of a website to steal their credentials or to conduct spoofing attacks.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Balitbang CMS, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks and by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and request forgery attacks.

1) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to e.g. create an arbitrary user with administrative privileges if a logged-in administrative user visits a malicious web site.

2) Certain input passed to the "buku", "link", "agenda", "album", "info", "voting", "soal", "download", and "diskusi2" modules is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires permissions to the individual modules.

3) Input passed to the "nip" parameter in admin/admin.php (when "mode" is set to "guru_member" or "mengajar_detail") is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 3.5. Other versions may also be affected.

Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. Do not browse untrusted sites or follow untrusted links while being logged-in to the application.
