Description

A vulnerability was found in mwasikz robo-cafe-rms up to 228c44a02823f04e85db32b7137809a2856148fc. The impacted element is an unknown function of the file frontend/update-account.php of the component Edit Profile Feature. Performing a manipulation of the argument Name/Address/City results in cross site scripting. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been made public and could be used. This product follows a rolling release approach for continuous delivery, so version details for affected or updated releases are not provided. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

  "executiveSummary": "A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in the mwasikz robo-cafe-rms application, specifically within the Edit Profile Feature component.\nThe vulnerability resides in the frontend/update-account.php file, where the application fails to adequately sanitize user-supplied input provided via the Name, Address, and City arguments.\nThis flaw allows a remote, unauthenticated, or authenticated attacker to inject malicious client-side scripts into the web application, which are then executed within the browser context of other users or administrators.\nThe risk is categorized as high, as successful exploitation could lead to session hijacking, unauthorized account actions, information disclosure, or the redirection of users to malicious third-party domains.\nGiven that the vulnerability is publicly documented and the vendor has remained unresponsive, the attack surface is active and presents a persistent threat to deployments of this software.\nThe lack of input validation and output encoding in the affected component facilitates this injection, allowing for arbitrary JavaScript execution.",
  "technicalDetails": "The vulnerability is a classic Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) flaw located in the frontend/update-account.php file of the mwasikz robo-cafe-rms component, affecting versions up to 228c44a02823f04e85db32b7137809a2856148fc.\nThe root cause of this vulnerability is the improper handling of user-supplied data within the Edit Profile update logic. When a user submits data through the 'Name', 'Address', or 'City' fields, the application processes these inputs and subsequently renders them back to the user or other stakeholders without performing context-aware output encoding or strict input sanitization.\nExploitation occurs when an attacker crafts a malicious request containing a payload designed to bypass existing, albeit insufficient, filters. By embedding JavaScript tags—such as <script>alert(document.cookie)</script>—within the Name, Address, or City parameters, the attacker forces the application to reflect the payload in the subsequent HTTP response.\nWhen a victim's browser parses this response, it interprets the reflected payload as legitimate executable code belonging to the web application origin. Because the script executes within the victim's session context, it inherits the permissions associated with the victim's user role.\nThe attack flow proceeds as follows: 1) The attacker identifies that the application reflects input from the specified parameters in the profile update interface. 2) The attacker constructs a malicious URL or form submission containing the XSS payload. 3) The target user is enticed to interact with the malicious request (e.g., via a crafted link or social engineering). 4) Upon interaction, the server processes the input and stores or echoes the raw script back into the application's DOM. 5) The browser executes the injected script, allowing the attacker to perform actions such as session token exfiltration, modification of account details, or unauthorized performative actions on behalf of the victim.\nPost-exploitation impact is significant, as it enables full client-side control within the context of the user session. This includes the ability to perform CSRF-based actions, access sensitive PII (Personally Identifiable Information) stored on the client side, and potentially establish persistent access if the XSS payload is saved and later viewed by administrative users."
