Description

PayMoney 3.3 is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) during replying the ticket. The XSS can be obtain from injecting under "Message" field with "description" parameter with the specially crafted payload to gain Stored XSS. The XSS then will prompt after that or can be access from the view ticket function.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2022-37137 is a medium-severity vulnerability classified as a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) flaw affecting the PayMoney 3.3 application. The vulnerability arises when an attacker injects malicious scripts into the "Message" field, specifically through the "description" parameter during the ticket reply process. Because the input is not properly sanitized or escaped, the malicious payload is stored persistently on the server and subsequently executed when the ticket is viewed or when the XSS is triggered. This persistent nature of the XSS means that any user viewing the affected ticket could have the malicious script executed in their browser context. The CVSS v3.1 score of 5.4 reflects a medium severity, with an attack vector of network (remote exploitation), low attack complexity, requiring privileges (PR:L) and user interaction (UI:R), and impacting confidentiality and integrity but not availability. The vulnerability is scoped (S:C), meaning it can affect resources beyond the vulnerable component. The CWE-79 classification confirms it as a classic XSS issue. No patches or vendor information are currently available, and no known exploits have been reported in the wild. Stored XSS vulnerabilities like this can be leveraged to steal session cookies, perform actions on behalf of users, or deliver further malware, especially in environments where users have elevated privileges or sensitive data access.

Potential Impact

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability depends largely on the deployment of the PayMoney 3.3 application or similar affected systems. If used in customer support or ticketing workflows, attackers could exploit this flaw to execute malicious scripts in the browsers of support staff or customers, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions within the application. This could compromise sensitive customer data, internal communications, or escalate privileges if the application integrates with other internal systems. The confidentiality and integrity of data are at risk, though availability is not directly impacted. Given the medium severity and requirement for some privileges and user interaction, the threat is moderate but should not be underestimated, especially in sectors handling sensitive personal or financial data under GDPR regulations. Exploitation could also damage organizational reputation and lead to regulatory penalties if personal data is compromised.

Mitigation Recommendations

Organizations should immediately audit their use of PayMoney 3.3 or related ticketing systems for this vulnerability. Since no official patch is currently available, mitigation should focus on input validation and output encoding: implement strict server-side sanitization of all user inputs in the "Message" and "description" fields to neutralize script tags and other executable content. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict script execution sources in browsers. Limit user privileges to the minimum necessary to reduce the risk of exploitation (principle of least privilege). Educate users to recognize suspicious ticket content and avoid clicking on unexpected links or executing scripts. Monitor logs for unusual activity related to ticket replies and views. If possible, isolate the ticketing system from other critical infrastructure to contain potential breaches. Finally, maintain vigilance for vendor updates or patches and apply them promptly once available.
