This XSS flaw arises from the fact that the /weibo/list component does not properly sanitize user-supplied input before executing it. An attacker can leverage this weakness to run script of their choice on targeted or vulnerable Jeesns v2.0.0 installation. In order to exploit this Stored XSS vulnerability, hackers must first gain access to the system on which the Jeesns v2.0.0 software is installed. A common vulnerability management solution would prevent such attacks, but Jeesns v2.0.0 is not covered by such solution. Exploitation of this XSS vulnerability requires no technical skills, making it a high-risk vulnerability. Fortunately, it is also a high-profit vulnerability. High-profile targets of this XSS flaw include government agencies, e-commerce websites, and any other enterprise that uses Jeesns v2.0.0 for critical business processes. Bugtraq
Exploitation Steps: How to Hack Jeesns v2.0.0 using XSS flaw
Step 1: The attacker needs to identify a target that uses Jeesns v2.0.0 for critical business processes.
Step 2: The attacker will need to find a way to gain access to the system on which the Jeesns v2.0.0 software is installed, such as by exploiting another XSS flaw or using a vulnerability management solution to exploit an existing XSS flaw.
Step 3: Once the attacker has access, they will need to identify report URLs and data reports with known XSS injection vulnerabilities in their URL paths that are public for easy discovery and exploitation of those vulnerabilities.
Step 4: Once the web server hosting the vulnerable Jeesns v2.0.0 software has been identified, they can use an automated tool to collect information about parameters passed during XSS attacks and inject script into those parameters before executing them on the vulnerable website's server-side script execution environment (such as in PHP's $_GET array). This process can be repeated until an exploitable XSS attack is found...
