Description
This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Cross-site request forgery (CVE-ID: N/A)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform CSRF attack.The vulnerability exists due to incorrect validation of the HTTP request origin in Customer Groups functionality when an HTTP POST request is changed to HTTP GET on saving changes to existing groups (/customer/group/save/). The web application ignores "form_key" parameter in HTTP GET request, which allows a remote attacker to create arbitrary customer groups.
2) Stored Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: N/A)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform XSS attack.The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data passed via Group Name parameter (code). A remote authenticated attacker can permanently inject and execute arbitrary HTML code in victims browser. The exploit code will be present on several pages when the customer group is shown (on viewing individual orders, individual customers, etc).
This vulnerability can be exploited in chain with CSRF vulnerability, described in this advisory.
