Summary
Due to a broken access control vulnerability in the /admin/pages/{page_name} endpoint, an editor ( user with full permissions to pages ) can change the functionality of a form after submission.
Details
Due to improper authorization checks when modifying critical fields on a POST request to /admin/pages/{page_name}, an editor with only permissions to change basic content on the form is now able to change the functioning of the form through modifying the content of the data[_json][header][form] which is the YAML frontmatter which includes the process section which dictates what happens after a user submits the form which include some important actions that could lead to further vulnerabilities.
PoC
-
Have Admin and Form plugins installed
-
Connect to panel as admin, create user and give him permission for pages all
-
Now connect as that user and notice you cant edit any process field in the panel
-
Change anything in the content of the form and save
-
Intercept the request:
-
Now modify the field `data[_json][header][form] with the following payload URL-encoded not like this:
{"name":"ssti-test 2","fields":{"name":{"type":"text","label":"Name","required":true}},"buttons":{"submit":{"type":"submit","value":"Submit"}},"process":[{"message":"{{ evaluate_twig(form.value('name')) }}"}]}
- Change the field and forward it:
Request goes through and changes have been made to the form.
Impact
- Attacker can modify submission logic of the form which leads to changing redirect value, email sending, changing template, breaking out of the Twig sandbox potentially executing code...
Fix recommendation
- Implement proper authorization checks to such requests especially when it contains fields user shouldn't be able to modify based on his role.
The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without needing physical access. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker needs basic access or low-level privileges. No user interaction is needed for the attacker to exploit this vulnerability.
Exploitation attempts have been detected. Elevated vigilance and prompt remediation are advised.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
We did not find any exploit available. Neither in GitHub repositories nor in the Exploit-Database.
