XSS in Rustici Software SCORM Engine

Medium

Synopsis

Tenable discovered a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the playerConfUrl parameter of the Scorm/Rustici Engine interface /defaultui/player/modern.html page. This XSS vulnerability could be leveraged by an attacker to achieve full account takeover against cloud.scorm.com users, and could affect any other LMS which integrates this page, with varying impact.

The issue appears to occur as a result of the call to loadCode(playerConfigurationurl,false) in /defaultui/src/js/integration/loader.js, as playerConfigurationUrl is user-defined and has no limitations in terms of what domain it loads code from, or what kind of URI it accepts. As a result an attacker could craft a malicious link which loads a malicious javascript file from an external site, or uses a data: uri to pass javascript directly.

Proof of Concept:

As Rustici has fixed these issues, the following proof of concept

https://[app-using-scorm]/[path-to-scorm-files]/defaultui/player/modern.html?playerConfUrl=data:text,alert(document.domain)//

Solution

Update to SCORM engine 20.1.45.914+ or 21.1.7.219+
