Concrete CMS 9 to 9.4.2 and versions below 8.5.21 are vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the Conversation Messages Dashboard Page. Unsanitized input could cause theft of session cookies or tokens, defacement of web content, redirection to malicious sites, and (if victim is an admin), the execution of unauthorized actions. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v.4.0 score of 4.8 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:P/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N. Thanks Fortbridge https://fortbridge.co.uk/ for performing a penetration test and vulnerability assessment on Concrete CMS and reporting this issue.
Concrete CMS version 9 below 9.4.0RC2 and versions below 8.5.20 are vulnerable to CSRF and XSS in the Concrete CMS Address attribute because addresses are not properly sanitized in the output when a country is not specified. Attackers are limited to individuals whom a site administrator has granted the ability to fill in an address attribute. It is possible for the attacker to glean limited information from the site but amount and type is restricted by mitigating controls and the level of access of the attacker. Limited data modification is possible. The dashboard page itself could be rendered unavailable.
The fix only sanitizes new data uploaded post update to Concrete CMS 9.4.0RC2. Existing database entries added before the update will still be “live” if there were successful exploits added under previous versions; a database search is recommended. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability CVSS v.4.0 score of 5.1 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:L/SI:L/SA:L Thanks Myq Larson for reporting.
Concrete CMS versions 9 through 9.3.3 and versions below 8.5.19 are vulnerable to stored XSS in the calendar event addition feature because the calendar event name was not sanitized on output. Users or groups with permission to create event calendars can embed scripts, and users or groups with permission to modify event calendars can execute scripts. The Concrete CMS Security Team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v4 score of 4.6 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N Thank you, Yusuke Uchida for reporting. CNA updated this risk rank on 20 Jan 2025 by lowering the AC based on CVSS 4.0 documentation that access privileges should not be considered for AC)
Concrete CMS versions 9.0.0 to 9.3.3 and below 8.5.19 are vulnerable to Stored XSS in the "Next&Previous Nav" block. A rogue administrator could add a malicious payload by executing it in the browsers of targeted users. The Concrete CMS Security Team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v4 score of 4.6 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:A/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N https://www.first.org/cvss/calculator/4.0#CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:A/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N Since the "Next&Previous Nav" block output was not sufficiently sanitized, the malicious payload could be executed in the browsers of targeted users. Thanks, Chu Quoc Khanh for reporting.
Concrete CMS versions 9.0.0 to 9.3.2 and below 8.5.18 are vulnerable to Stored XSS in RSS Displayer when user input is stored and later embedded into responses. A rogue administrator could inject malicious code into fields due to insufficient input validation. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v4 score of 5.1 with vector https://www.first.org/cvss/calculator/4.0#CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N Thanks, m3dium for reporting.
