Vulnerabilities

An issue in Ignite Realtime Openfire v.4.9.0 and before allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via the ROOM_CACHE component.

CVE-2023-32315 is an unauthenticated path traversal flaw (CWE-22) in the Ignite Realtime Openfire XMPP server that allows a remote attacker to reach pages of the Openfire Admin Console that are reserved for administrative users. It is triggered by sending a crafted HTTP request to the admin console web interface containing path traversal sequences, which bypasses the authentication check protecting those restricted pages. Successful exploitation exposes administrative console functionality to an unauthenticated attacker, potentially enabling further compromise of the server and the chat environment it hosts. Any organization running Openfire is affected, particularly instances whose admin console interface is reachable from the internet. The flaw was added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2023-08-24 and carries an EPSS probability of 100% (top percentile), indicating active exploitation in the wild; ransomware use is not yet documented.

Do: Upgrade Openfire to the patched release recommended in the Ignite Realtime advisory for CVE-2023-32315, per the CISA KEV required action; if patching must be delayed, restrict the admin console (default ports 9090/9091) to trusted networks or place it behind a VPN. Review access logs for requests to admin console pages containing traversal sequences, and check for unauthorized admin accounts or configuration changes, since KEV listing confirms exploitation in the wild.

An issue was discovered in Pascom Cloud Phone System before 7.20.x. A configuration error between NGINX and a backend Tomcat server leads to a path traversal in the Tomcat server, exposing unintended endpoints.

Ignite Realtime Openfire 4.6.0 has plugins/clientcontrol/spark-form.jsp Reflective XSS.

Ignite Realtime Openfire 4.6.0 has plugins/bookmarks/create-bookmark.jsp Stored XSS.

A Reflected XSS vulnerability was discovered in Ignite Realtime Openfire version 4.5.1. The XSS vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the GET request "searchName", "searchValue", "searchDescription", "searchDefaultValue","searchPlugin", "searchDescription" and "searchDynamic" in server-properties.jsp and security-audit-viewer.jsp

An issue was discovered in Ignite Realtime Spark 2.8.3 (and the ROAR plugin for it) on Windows. A chat message can include an IMG element with a SRC attribute referencing an external host's IP address. Upon access to this external host, the (NT)LM hashes of the user are sent with the HTTP request. This allows an attacker to collect these hashes, crack them, and potentially compromise the computer. (ROAR can be configured for automatic access. Also, access can occur if the user clicks.)

Ignite Realtime Openfire 4.4.1 allows XSS via the setup/setup-datasource-standard.jsp password parameter.

Ignite Realtime Openfire 4.4.1 allows XSS via the setup/setup-datasource-standard.jsp username parameter.

An XSS issue was discovered in Ignite Realtime Openfire 4.4.4 via alias to Manage Store Contents.

A Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in FaviconServlet.java in Ignite Realtime Openfire through 4.4.2 allows attackers to send arbitrary HTTP GET requests.

Ignite Realtime Openfire before 4.4.1 has reflected XSS via an LDAP setup test.

Ignite Realtime Openfire before 3.9.2 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability via a crafted URL to execute script in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the URL is clicked. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.

An exploitable XML entity injection vulnerability exists in OpenFire User Import Export Plugin 2.6.0. A specially crafted web request can cause the retrieval of arbitrary files or denial of service. An authenticated attacker can send a crafted web request to trigger this vulnerability.

The Admin Console in Ignite Realtime Openfire Server before 4.1.7 allows arbitrary client-side JavaScript code execution on victims who click a crafted setup/setup-host-settings.jsp?domain= link, aka XSS. Session ID and data theft may follow as well as the possibility of bypassing CSRF protections, injection of iframes to establish communication channels, etc. The vulnerability is present after login into the application.

Race condition in the XMPP library in Smack before 4.1.9, when the SecurityMode.required TLS setting has been set, allows man-in-the-middle attackers to bypass TLS protections and trigger use of cleartext for client authentication by stripping the "starttls" feature from a server response.
