Description

Rukovoditel v3.2.1 was discovered to contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Highlight Row feature at /index.php?module=entities/listing_types&entities_id=24. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via a crafted payload injected into the Note field after clicking "Add".

Technical Analysis

CVE-2022-44947 is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in Rukovoditel version 3.2.1, specifically within the Highlight Row feature accessible via the URL path /index.php?module=entities/listing_types&entities_id=24. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input sanitization in the Note field, which allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts or HTML content. When a user clicks the "Add" button after the crafted payload is inserted, the malicious code is stored and subsequently executed in the context of other users viewing the affected page. This stored XSS can lead to unauthorized script execution, potentially enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the victim user. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 5.4 (medium severity), with an attack vector of network (remote exploitation), low attack complexity, requiring low privileges and user interaction, and impacting confidentiality and integrity with a scope change. No patches or vendor project details are provided, and no known exploits in the wild have been reported to date. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-79, which covers improper neutralization of input during web page generation, a common vector for XSS attacks.

Potential Impact

For European organizations using Rukovoditel 3.2.1, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk primarily to the confidentiality and integrity of user data. Since Rukovoditel is a project management and database tool, exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of authenticated users, potentially leading to session hijacking, unauthorized data access, or manipulation of project information. This could disrupt business operations, lead to data leakage, or facilitate further attacks within the network. The requirement for low privileges and user interaction means that insider threats or social engineering could increase the likelihood of exploitation. While availability is not directly impacted, the integrity and confidentiality breaches could have regulatory and reputational consequences, especially under GDPR requirements for data protection and breach notification in Europe.

Mitigation Recommendations

Given the absence of an official patch, European organizations should implement the following specific mitigations: 1) Apply strict input validation and output encoding on the Note field and any user-generated content within Rukovoditel to neutralize malicious scripts. This can be done by deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules targeting suspicious payloads in the affected URL path. 2) Restrict user privileges to the minimum necessary, especially limiting the ability to add or modify notes to trusted users only. 3) Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in the application context. 4) Conduct user awareness training to reduce the risk of social engineering that could trigger user interaction required for exploitation. 5) Monitor application logs for unusual activity related to the Highlight Row feature or Note field submissions. 6) If possible, isolate the Rukovoditel instance within segmented network zones to limit lateral movement in case of compromise. 7) Regularly review and update the application once vendor patches or updates become available.
