Abstract Advisory Information:
==============================
The vulnerability laboratory core research team discovered a non-persistent cross site vulnerability in the Ultimate POS v4.4 erp stock management web-application.


Affected Product(s):
====================
thewebfosters
Ultimate POS v4.4 - ERP (Web-Application)


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A persistent cross site web vulnerability has been discovered in the Ultimate POS v4.4 erp stock management web-application.
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 validation web vulnerability is located in the name parameter of the add products module.
Remote attackers with privileges as vendor to add products are able to inject own malicious script codes.
The request method to inject is post and the attack vector is persistent. Injects are possible via edit
or by a new create of a product.

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):
[+] Products (Add)

Vulnerable Input(s):

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be resolved by the following steps ...
1. Restrict the input on product names to disallow special chars
2. Encode and filter the input transmitted via post in the name parameter
3. Escape and sanitize the output in the products listing of the backend
