RedTeam Pentesting discovered a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability
in the PHP markup parser Decoda. This allows attackers that should be
restricted to the markup supported by Decoda to specify a JavaScript
event handler for an iframe tag. Depending on the usage of Decoda, this
allows attackers to execute JavaScript code in the context of other
users in a web application that uses Decoda.
Details
=======
Product: php-decoda
Affected Versions: 3.x
Fixed Versions: 3.3.3
Vulnerability Type: Cross-Site Scripting
Security Risk: High
Vendor URL: http://milesj.me/code/php/decoda
Vendor Status: fixed version released
Advisory URL: http://www.redteam-pentesting.de/advisories/rt-sa-2012-002
Advisory Status: published
CVE: GENERIC-MAP-NOMATCH
CVE URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=GENERIC-MAP-NOMATCH
Introduction
============
Decoda is a lightweight class that extracts and parses a custom markup
language; based on the concept of BB code. Decoda supports all the basic
HTML tags and manages special features for making links and emails
auto-clickable, using shorthand emails and links, and finally allowing
the user to add their own code tags.
(from Decoda's homepage)
More Details
============
Decoda supports a directive for videos. For example the Decoda markup
creates the following corresponding HTML code (whitespace adjusted):
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/test"; width="560" height="315"
frameborder="0"></iframe>
The code to generate the iframe tag can be found in the following file:
decoda/templates/video.php
There, the HTML tag is generated as follows:
<?php if ($player == 'embed') { ?>
<embed src="https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/18822/<?php echo $url; ?>"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
allowscriptaccess="always"
allowfullscreen="true"
width="<?php echo $width; ?>"
height="<?php echo $height; ?>"></embed>
<?php } else { ?>
<iframe src="https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/18822/<?php echo $url; ?>"
width="<?php echo $width; ?>"
height="<?php echo $height; ?>"
frameborder="0"></iframe>
<?php } ?>
The variable $url contains the user input provided in the video markup
prefixed by the URL to YouTube. Since quotation signs provided by a user
are not properly encoded, an attacker can use this to specify a
JavaScript event handler that is executed when the resulting HTML
document is loaded.
Proof of Concept
================
The following PHP script can be used to demonstrate this vulnerability:
<?php
include '../decoda/Decoda.php';
$code = new Decoda();
$code->addFilter(new VideoFilter()); ?>
<?php
$decoda_markup = '';
$code->reset($decoda_markup);
echo $code->parse();
?>
This results in the following output (whitespace adjusted):
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/"; onload="alert('RedTeam
Pentesting XSS');" id="" width="560" height="315"
frameborder="0"></iframe>
Workaround
==========
Disabling support for the video markup by not adding the corresponding
filter might close this attack vector depending on the usage of Decoda.
Fix
===
Update to at least version 3.3.3.
Security Risk
=============
The risk of the described vulnerability is considered to be high. It
might be lower depending on the use case of Decoda in a web application.
In case it is used in an web forum to allow formatting of postings, it
can be used by attackers to completely manipulate the web page showing
the respective posting by adding arbitrary content, tracking user
interaction and potentially obtaining credentials from other users.
