Koha Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Koha 3.14.x before 3.14.16, 3.16.x before 3.16.12, 3.18.x before 3.18.08, and 3.20.x before 3.20.1 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) tag parameter to opac-search.pl; the (2) value parameter to authorities/authorities-home.pl; the (3) delay parameter to acqui/lateorders.pl; the (4) authtypecode or (5) tagfield to admin/auth_subfields_structure.pl; the (6) tagfield parameter to admin/marc_subfields_structure.pl; the (7) limit parameter to catalogue/search.pl; the (8) bookseller_filter, (9) callnumber_filter, (10) EAN_filter, (11) ISSN_filter, (12) publisher_filter, or (13) title_filter parameter to serials/serials-search.pl; or the (14) author, (15) collectiontitle, (16) copyrightdate, (17) isbn, (18) manageddate_from, (19) manageddate_to, (20) publishercode, (21) suggesteddate_from, or (22) suggesteddate_to parameter to suggestion/suggestion.pl; or the (23) direction, (24) display or (25) addshelf parameter to opac-shelves.pl. Koha Contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability.Information may be obtained and information may be altered. Koha is the first open source library automation system. Koha has a SQL injection vulnerability that allows an attacker to exploit a vulnerability to access or modify database data. Koha is prone to the following security vulnerabilities: 1. Multiple SQL-injection vulnerabilities 2. Multiple directory-traversal vulnerabilities 3. Multiple HTML Injection vulnerabilities 4. Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities 5. Multiple cross site request forgery vulnerabilities An attacker may leverage these issues to access or modify data, exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database, read arbitrary files,allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user and to perform unauthorized actions in the context of a logged-in user of the affected application.This may aid in further attacks. =============================================================================================== SBA Research Vulnerability Disclosure  =============================================================================================== title: Koha Unauthenticated SQL injection product:         Koha ILS affected version: 3.20.x <= 3.20.1, 3.18.x <= 3.18.8, 3.16.x <= 3.16.12 fixed version: 3.20.1, 3.17.8, 3.16.12 CVE numbers: CVE-2015-4633, CVE-2015-4632, CVE-2015-4631 impact: critical website:         http://www.koha-community.org/ found by:         Raschin Tavakoli / SBA Research Combinatorial Security Testing Group contact:         cst@sba-research.org References: http://koha-community.org/security-release-koha-3-20-1/         http://koha-community.org/security-release-koha-3-18-8/         http://koha-community.org/security-release-koha-3-16-12/         http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14412         http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14408         http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14426         http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14416         http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14418         ​http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14423 =============================================================================================== ========================= 1.

Once he opens  --> http://<staff-interface>/cgi-bin/koha/virtualshelves/shelves.pl the malcious code get's executed.
