The "EmpireCMS 7.5 - Cross-Site Scripting" module is designed to detect a cross-site scripting vulnerability in EmpireCMS version 7.5. EmpireCMS is a content management system that allows users to create and manage websites. This vulnerability has a high severity level, indicating that it can potentially lead to unauthorized access, data theft, or other malicious activities.
A successful exploitation of the cross-site scripting vulnerability in EmpireCMS 7.5 can allow an attacker to inject and execute malicious scripts on the affected website. This can lead to various consequences, including:
- Data theft: Attackers can steal sensitive user information, such as login credentials, personal data, or financial details. - Session hijacking: By injecting malicious scripts, attackers can hijack user sessions and impersonate legitimate users. - Defacement: Attackers can modify the appearance and content of the website, potentially damaging its reputation. - Malware distribution: Exploiting the vulnerability can enable attackers to distribute malware to website visitors.The "EmpireCMS 7.5 - Cross-Site Scripting" module works by sending a specific HTTP request to the target website and analyzing the response. It looks for two matching conditions:
If both matching conditions are met, the module reports the vulnerability, allowing website administrators to take appropriate actions to mitigate the risk.
Example HTTP request sent by the module:
GET /e/ViewImg/index.html?url=javascript:alert(document.domain)
Note: This is a simplified example to demonstrate the concept. The actual module may include additional requests and matching conditions.
