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 `expense_name` parameters  
of the `/expenses/expenses/edit` module in the `index.php` file.  
Remote attackers with low privileges are able to inject own malicious  
persistent script code as expenses entry. 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. Entries of expenses can be reviewed in the  
backend by higher privileged accounts as well.  
  
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):  
[+] index.php/expenses/expenses/edit  
  
Vulnerable Input(s):

Proof of Concept (PoC):  
=======================  
The persistent web vulnerability can be exploited by low privileged web  
application user account with low user interaction.
