[SECURITY] Advisory for cross site scripting security vulnerability CVE-2021-3693
by Erik Huelsmann 23 Aug '21

23 Aug '21

On August 4th, the LedgerSMB project was advised of a security vulnerability in the code. Please see below our security advisory. DOM cross-site scripting of authenticated users in LedgerSMB Summary: ======== LedgerSMB does not check the origin of HTML fragments merged into the browser's DOM. By sending a specially crafted URL to an authenticated user, this flaw can be abused for remote code execution and information disclosure. Known vulnerable: ================= All of: - 1.5.0 upto 1.5.30 (including) - 1.6.0 upto 1.6.33 (including) - 1.7.0 upto 1.7.32 (including) - 1.8.0 upto 1.8.17 (including) Known fixed: ============ - 1.7.33 - 1.8.18 Details: ======== LedgerSMB uses the URL's hash fragment (the part after the '#'-sign) to store which screen the user is on, for the purpose of history navigation (the back button). The hash fragment is assumed to be a URL that is part of the web application's URL space. This assumption is not verified. This allows an attacker inject a script into the page by send a specially crafted URL to an authenticated user. As the process of loading the attack payload overwrites any content in the main window, the attack by itself does not expose sensitive information; a sophisticated payload in addition to targetting a sufficiently privileged user, is required for information disclosure. Proper audit control and separation of duties limit Integrity impact of the attack vector. The vulnerable code dates back to version 1.5 when LedgerSMB moved to the Single Page Application (SPA) model for web applications. Severity: ========= CVSSv3.1 Base Score: 7.1 (High) CVSSv3.1 Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N Recommendations: ================ We recommend all users to upgrade to known-fixed versions. Versions prior to 1.7 are end-of-life and will not receive security fixes from the LedgerSMB project. Users who cannot upgrade, may apply the included patches or are advised to contact a vendor for custom support. There are no workarounds available for this vulnerability.
