Technical Details & Description:  
================================  
A persistent input validation web vulnerability has been discovered in  
the official VTiger v7.0 CRM open-source 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 cross site scripting web vulnerability is located in the  
`searchValue` Parameter of the `Emails Compose` module.  
Attackers are able to inject own mlicious script code in the `To` sender  
input field of the email compose module to attack other  
user accounts. The email can be delivered with multiple receipients  
which allows an attacker to insert the target email and a  
malicious payload. The request method to inject is GET via searchValue  
and POST on compose with persistent attack vector.  
  
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  
[+] GET  
  
Vulnerable Module(s):  
[+] Email Compose (index.php?module=Emails)  
  
Vulnerable Input(s):  
[+] To (Sender - Email)  
  
  
Proof of Concept (PoC):  
=======================  
The persistent input validation web vulnerability can be exploited by  
remote attackers with low privileged account and with low user interaction.  
For security demonstration or to reproduce the cross site web  
vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.  
  
  
PoC: Url  
http://localhost:8080/vtigercrm/index.php?module=Vendors&relatedModule=Emails&view=Detail&record=3883&mode=showRelatedList&relationId=62&tab_label=Emails&app=INVENTORY#  
  
  
Manual steps to reproduce the vulnerability ...  
1. Open the web-application ui  
2. Login with a regular user role to the ui  
3. Open vendors and move to compose to email form  
4. Inject malicious payload as "to" sender information and as well a  
valid email to target  
5. Send the request after the compose  
6. Wait until the administrator or higher privileged targeted users  
click in the email or receives the email on preview  
7. Successful reproduce of the cross site scripting web vulnerability!
