Discovery Status:

Published

Affected Product(s):

SevenIT
Product: SevDesk - iOS Mobile Web Application (API) 1.1

Exploitation Technique:

Remote

Severity Level:

Medium

Technical Details & Description:

A persistent input validation web vulnerability has been discovered in the official SEVENIT Software GmbH sevDesk v1.1 iOS mobile web-application (api).
The vulnerability allows remote attackers or low privileged user account to inject own malicious script codes to the application-side of the vulnerable
web-application module or service.

The security vulnerability is located in the `firstname` values of the main sevDesk `Dasboard` application module & api. Remote attackers are able to inject
own script codes to the mobile dashboard through the api by manipulation of the registration information in the client.

The execution of the script code occurs after the inject on the application-side in the main mobile dashboard status list. If the test user account apply for
any changes in the account profile the activity becomes visible. In the context were the information and details becomes visible is the location were the
execution of the persistent injected script code takes place. The attack vector is persistent and the request method to inject the code is POST.

The security risk of the persistent script code inject web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 4.2.
Exploitation of the persistent input validation web vulnerability requires a low privileged sevdesk user account with restricted access and low user interaction.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, persistent phishing, persistent external redirects to malicious source and persistent
manipulation of affected or connected application modules (api).
