Description
Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in Microweber. The vulnerability lies in the ‘group’ parameter of the ‘/admin/settings’ endpoint in the administration panel. A successful exploit allows an attacker to trick an authenticated user into executing malicious JavaScript code in their browser. This enables the attacker to perform actions without the victim’s consent, steal confidential information or hijack the user’s session.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a reflected cross‑site scripting flaw in the Microweber administration panel, specifically in the ‘group’ parameter of the ‘/admin/settings’ endpoint. An attacker can craft a URL that contains malicious JavaScript, which, when opened by an authenticated administrator, executes in the user's browser. This permits the attacker to perform privileged actions under the victim’s account, steal sensitive information, or hijack the user session, thereby compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the administration functions.

Affected Systems

Microweber versions identified by the CPE include the Administration panel 2.0.19. The affected component is the web interface’s settings endpoint, and the flaw applies only to users who have successfully authenticated to the admin panel.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.9 indicates a medium severity vulnerability. No EPSS value is available, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting it is not a widely exploited or immediately threatening vulnerability, but the potential impact on authenticated users is significant. Attackers could exploit this via a phishing or social engineering vector that directs an administrator to the crafted URL. Because the flaw is only exploited in the context of an authenticated session, the attacker need not bypass authentication but must convince the victim to visit the malicious link.

Vendor Solution

There is no reported solution at this time.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Microweber administration panel to a version that contains a fix once it becomes available.
  • Sanitize and validate the 'group' parameter on the /admin/settings endpoint to prevent reflection of unsanitized user input.
  • Deploy a web application firewall to detect and block reflected XSS payloads targeting the /admin/settings endpoint and monitor for suspicious request patterns.
  • Educate administrators to avoid opening unexpected or suspicious links while logged into the admin panel.
