Two Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities have been discovered in Alkacon's OpenCMS affecting version 16, which could allow a user having the roles of gallery editor or VFS resource manager will have the permission to upload images in the .svg format containing JavaScript code. The code will be executed the moment another user accesses the image.
Two Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities have been discovered in Alkacon's OpenCMS affecting version 16, which could allow a user with sufficient privileges to create and modify web pages through the admin panel, can execute malicious JavaScript code, after inserting code in the “title” field.
Open redirect vulnerability has been found in the Open CMS product affecting versions 14 and 15 of the 'Mercury' template. An attacker could create a specially crafted URL and send it to a specific user to redirect them to a malicious site and compromise them. Exploitation of this vulnerability is possible due to the fact that there is no proper sanitization of the 'URI' parameter.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Alkacon Software Open CMS, affecting versions 14 and 15 of the 'Mercury' template. This vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to send a specially crafted JavaScript payload to a victim and partially take control of their browsing session.
An arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the component /workplace#!explorer of Alkacon OpenCMS v15.0 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via uploading a crafted PNG file.
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in alkacon-OpenCMS v11.0.0.0 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via a crafted payload injected into the Title field under the Upload Image module.
In “OpenCMS”, versions 10.5.0 to 11.0.2 are affected by a stored XSS vulnerability that allows low privileged application users to store malicious scripts in the Sitemap functionality. These scripts are executed in a victim’s browser when they open the page containing the vulnerable field.
An XML external entity (XXE) vulnerability in Alkacon OpenCms 11.0, 11.0.1 and 11.0.2 allows remote authenticated users with edit privileges to exfiltrate files from the server's file system by uploading a crafted SVG document.
In Alkacon OpenCms 10.5.4 and 10.5.5, there are multiple resources vulnerable to Local File Inclusion that allow an attacker to access server resources: clearhistory.jsp, convertxml.jsp, group_new.jsp, loginmessage.jsp, xmlcontentrepair.jsp, and /system/workplace/admin/history/settings/index.jsp.
In system/workplace/ in Alkacon OpenCms 10.5.4 and 10.5.5, there are multiple Reflected and Stored XSS issues in the management interface.
In the Alkacon OpenCms Apollo Template 10.5.4 and 10.5.5, there is XSS in the Login form.
In the Alkacon OpenCms Apollo Template 10.5.4 and 10.5.5, there is XSS in the search engine.
Alkacon OpenCMS v10.5.4 and before is affected by CSV (aka Excel Macro) Injection in the module New User (/opencms/system/workplace/admin/accounts/user_new.jsp) via the First Name or Last Name.
Alkacon OpenCMS v10.5.4 and before is affected by stored cross site scripting (XSS) in the module New User (/opencms/system/workplace/admin/accounts/user_new.jsp). This allows an attacker to insert arbitrary JavaScript as user input (First Name or Last Name), which will be executed whenever the affected snippet is loaded.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the gallery function in Alkacon OpenCMS 10.5.3 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a malicious SVG image.
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in system/workplace/admin/accounts/user_role.jsp in OpenCMS 10.5.3 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrative users for requests that perform privilege escalation. Note: It is argued that OpenCMS allows only registered users to upload different kind of content artifacts (SVG, .doc, .docx). The uploaded content is stored in the CMS content repository "as is". In case of scripts inside an SVG, this may or may not be "malicious", there is no way of knowing if the uploaded SVG contains the script for a reason. To exploit the "issue", a user must have an account in the CMS as a content manager
