Vulnerability
Description A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in UltimatePOS by UltimateFosters. The issue originates from insufficient input validation in the product name parameter during editing via the /products/<PRODUCT_ID>/edit endpoint. An attacker can inject arbitrary JavaScript code that is then stored and executed within the application's interface. [1]
Exploitation
Context To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker needs valid credentials for the UltimatePOS application, as the edit functionality is accessible only to authenticated users. The crafted payload is delivered through a POST request to the product edit page, where the malicious script is stored in the 'name' parameter. When another authenticated user views the affected product details, the injected script executes in their browser session. [1]
Potential
Impact Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to steal session cookies of other users, leading to account hijacking or unauthorized access. The CVSS v4.0 score of 5.1 (Medium) reflects the requirement for user interaction and the limited scope impact. [1]
Mitigation
The vendor has released a fix in version 6.7 of UltimatePOS. Users are advised to update to the latest version to remediate the vulnerability. [1]
