DefenseCode Security Advisory     Magento Commerce CSRF, Stored Cross Site Scripting Advisory ID: DC-2017-09-002 Advisory Title: Magento CSRF, Stored Cross Site Scripting Advisory URL: http://www.defensecode.com/advisories/DC-2017-09-002_Magento_CSRF_Stored_Cross_Site_Scripting.pdf Software: Magento Commerce, CE Software Language: PHP Version: Magento CE 1 prior to 1.9.3.6, Magento Commerce prior to 1.14.3.6, Magento 2.0 prior to 2.0.16, Magento 2.1 prior to 2.1.9 Vendor Status: Vendor contacted / Fixed Release Date: 2017-10-04 Risk: Medium 1. General Overview =================== During the security audit of Magento Community Edition / Open Source and Commerce, a Cross-site Request Forgery and Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities were discovered that could lead to administrator account takeover, putting the website customers and their payment information at risk. 2. Software Overview ==================== Magento is an ecommerce platform built on open source technology which provides online merchants with a flexible shopping cart system, as well as control over the look, content andfunctionality of their online store. Magento offers powerful marketing, search engine optimization, and catalog-management tools. It is a leading enterprise-class eCommerce platform, empowering over 200,000 online retailers. Homepage: http://www.magento.com 3. Vulnerability Description ================================== There is a Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability present in Newsletter Templates when a POST request is changed to GET on saving changes on existing or adding new templates (/newsletter/template/save/). When the request method is switched, the lack of form_key parameter which serves as a CSRF token is completely ignored. Considering that Newsletter templates accept HTML code, a malicious JavaScript code can be saved as a template and previewed on /newsletter/template/preview/id/1/ An attacker can chain a CSRF attack to redirecting an admin to the preview page. Malicious code may lead to admin session hijacking (although the admin SID cookie is set to HttpOnly, there are number of ways to retrieve the admin SID on Magento that do not require cookies). Prerequisite to this attack is that "Add Secret Keys to URLs" option is disabled.
