[SECURITY] Advisory for clickjacking vulnerability CVE-2021-3731
by Erik Huelsmann 23 Aug '21

23 Aug '21

On August 20th, the LedgerSMB project was advised of a security vulnerability in the code. Please see below our security advisory. Insufficient protection against 'clickjacking' Summary: ======== LedgerSMB does not sufficiently guard against being wrapped by other sites, making it vulnerable to 'clickjacking. This allows an attacker to trick a targetted user to execute unintended actions. Known vulnerable: ================= All of: - 1.1.0 upto 1.1.12 (including) - 1.2.0 upto 1.2.26 (including) - 1.3.0 upto 1.3.47 (including) - 1.4.0 upto 1.4.42 (including) - 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: ======== In a clickjacking attack, an attacker (invisibly) wraps the vulnerable site in his own site, carefully placing elements of his own site over elements of the wrapped site, tricking the user into performing unintended actions on the vulnerable site. More information on clickjacking is on the OWASP page at https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Clickjacking The lack of protection dates back to version 1.0, although it must be noted that mitigation measures were first available in browsers as of 2011 -- the year of the release of 1.3.0. Severity: ========= CVSSv3.1 Base Score: 5.9 (Medium) CVSSv3.1 Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/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. As a workaround, administrators may configure their webservers to add the Content-Security-Policy header as documented in the content security policy site at https://content-security-policy.com/#server.

[SECURITY] Advisory for cross site scripting security vulnerability CVE-2021-3694
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. Reflected cross-site scripting of authenticated users in LedgerSMB Summary: ======== LedgerSMB does not sufficiently HTML-encode error messages sent to the browser. 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: - 1.1.0 upto 1.1.12 (including) - 1.2.0 upto 1.2.26 (including) - 1.3.0 upto 1.3.47 (including) - 1.4.0 upto 1.4.42 (including) - 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: ======== When encountering an error, LedgerSMB sends the user feedback which may include user-provided input. This input was not sufficiently sanitized before being included in the error report. This allows an attacker inject a script in the error response page by send a specially crafted URL to an authenticated user. As the error page itself does not contain any 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 to provide this user-feedback dates back to version 1.0. Please note that not error messages are vulnerable to this attack as not all messages report the problematic input to the user.

[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.

To be able to do that, I don't see more than the requirement for 2 sets: the actual data used in the invoice (which is already there now) and the numbers calculated by the system. If the numbers have not been overridden by the user, the "variation" is zero. > For example a salesperson may vary the price by applying a discount or > manually changing the price on an item. > In general thats good sales practice as long as the net sales margin from > a customer is above some target level. > Right.

I can see how this would be convenient for oversight. However - assuming the business doesn't change its prices daily (but rather more quarterly or less often) - the data required to do oversight should be there when the oversight is effective: short after the actual sale. At that time, the data is all there. The pricematrix price derivation is even in the database now (see https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/blob/816e740f0702af2a2192dfe4832dc3e…) So, assuming sufficiently constant prices, you could retrieve the oversight data nicely. All the data needed to report e.g. an average sales price (per part) is also there. > I've run into other use cases in the past as well. > Ok. I was thinking to introduce the ability to track the applicable pricing at a given point in time, so as to be able to provide an audit trail on how invoice prices were determined. With the schema currently proposed, there will at least be an indicator that the person compiling the invoice either set their own price, or that the price was inherited from an order/quote (as contrasted by "taken from the pricing mechanism/calculated by the software").

It's quite complex though, because: do you create a full copy of the price matrix too? and what about the parts line itself when e.g. a line in the makemodel table is changed? I decided that storing a full audit trail on modified parts data is probably a good idea, but not something to be addressed while creating the invoice API.
