Technical Details & Description:
================================
A persistent input validation web vulnerability has been discovered in
the official POS PHP v17.5 web-application.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own malicious script
codes with persistent attack vector to
compromise browser to web-application requests from the application-side.

The persistent web vulnerability is located in the firstname and
lastname parameter of the customer profile module.
Remote attackers are able to change or add malicious script code as
firstname and lastname to customer profiles.
Thus allows to execute the script code with persistent attack vector
against administrators in the backend in the
/customers/ or customers/save/ modules. The request method to inject is
POST via add or edit of the customer and
the attack vector is located on the application-side.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session
hijacking, persistent phishing attacks, persistent
external redirects to malicious source and persistent manipulation of
affected application modules.
