CVE-2022-44071: n/a in n/a
Zenario CMS 9.3.57186 is is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS) via profile.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2022-44071 is a medium severity vulnerability identified in Zenario CMS version 9.3.57186. The vulnerability is a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) flaw, classified under CWE-79, which occurs via the user profile functionality. XSS vulnerabilities allow an attacker to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users. In this case, the vulnerability requires that the attacker has at least low privileges (PR:L) and that the victim must interact with the malicious content (UI:R). The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), meaning exploitation can be attempted remotely over the network. The vulnerability affects confidentiality and integrity but not availability, as indicated by the CVSS vector (C:L/I:L/A:N). The scope is changed (S:C), meaning the vulnerability can affect resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. No public exploits are known to be in the wild, and no official patches or vendor information are currently available. The lack of vendor and product details beyond the CMS version limits the granularity of the analysis, but the vulnerability is clearly tied to Zenario CMS, a content management system used for website management. The vulnerability likely arises from insufficient input sanitization or output encoding in the profile management module, allowing malicious script injection that can execute in the context of other users' browsers, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the victim user.
Potential Impact
For European organizations using Zenario CMS 9.3.57186, this vulnerability poses a risk primarily to web applications that rely on user profiles for personalization or user-generated content. Successful exploitation could lead to theft of sensitive information such as session cookies or credentials, unauthorized actions performed with the victim's privileges, and potential lateral movement within the application. This can compromise the confidentiality and integrity of organizational data and user information. While availability is not directly impacted, the indirect effects of compromised user accounts could disrupt business operations. European organizations in sectors with high reliance on web presence, such as e-commerce, government portals, and educational institutions, may be particularly vulnerable. The requirement for attacker privileges and user interaction reduces the risk somewhat but does not eliminate it, especially in environments with many users or where social engineering could be employed. The absence of known exploits in the wild suggests limited active targeting so far, but the vulnerability's presence in a CMS used across multiple sectors means the attack surface is non-trivial.
Mitigation Recommendations
Implement strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data, especially within profile management features, to prevent script injection. Apply Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in the browser context. Restrict user privileges to the minimum necessary to reduce the risk of privilege escalation and limit the impact of compromised accounts. Monitor web application logs for unusual activity indicative of attempted XSS exploitation, such as suspicious input patterns or repeated failed attempts. If possible, upgrade Zenario CMS to a version where this vulnerability is patched; if no patch is available, consider temporary workarounds such as disabling profile editing features or isolating the CMS environment. Educate users about the risks of interacting with suspicious links or content to reduce the likelihood of successful social engineering attacks. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on XSS vulnerabilities within the CMS and associated web applications.
