Severity Level:
===============
Medium


Technical Details & Description:
================================
Multiple client-side web vulnerabilities has been discovered in the official Adobe (arvato) online service web-application. The first vulnerability 
is a Cross Site Scripting of type reflected. The second vulnerability is an open redirect is an application that takes a parameter and redirects an 
user to the parameter value without any validation.

The vulnerability is located in the `tduid` and `url` parameter values of the arvato_redirect.html file GET method request. The `tduid` parameter 
receives as argument `0`. The `url` parameter receives as argument an url or javascript code. Remote attackers are able to inject script codes 
to the client-side browser to application GET method requests. The attack vector of the issues are client-side and the request method to inject 
is GET. An attacker can send an url like http://www.vulnerability-lab.com and the request redirect to the external target url without approval.
An attacker can also send a javascript code like `javascript:alert(documen.cookie)` and the request executes without secure validation.

The security risk of the client-side web vulnerabilities are estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.0.
Exploitation of the non-persistent web vulnerabilities requires no privileged web application user account and low or medium  user interaction. 
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, non-persistent phishing, non-persistent external redirects, 
non-persistent load of malicious script codes or non-persistent web module context manipulation.

Request Method(s):
				[+] GET

Vulnerable Module(s):
				[+] Adobe - arvato

Vulnerable File(s):
				[+] arvato_redirect.html

Vulnerable Parameter(s):

				[+] url


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The open vulnerability can be patched by a restriction of the requested parameters in the url value. Disallow special chars and use a whitelist to deny external redirects.

The client-side cross site scripting vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse and encode of the vulnerable tduid value in the arvato_redirect.html file.
Disallow special chars and filter the input to correct the context to prevent further client-side javascript code injection attacks against the web-application.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability in the adobe web-application is estimated as medium. (CVSS 3.0)
The security risk of the client-side open redirect web vulnerability in the adobe web-application is estimated as low. (CVSS 2.1)
