CVE-2024-51735

Stored Cross-site Scripting to RCE on Osmedeus Web Server

8.7 High

Osmedeus is a Workflow Engine for Offensive Security. Cross-site Scripting (XSS) occurs on the Osmedues web server when viewing results from the workflow, allowing commands to be executed on the server. When using a workflow that contains the summary module, it generates reports in HTML and Markdown formats. The default report is based on the general-template.md template.The contents of the files are read and used to generate the report. However, the file contents are not properly filtered, leading to XSS. This may lead to commands executed on the host as well. This issue is not yet resolved. Users are advised to add their own filtering or to reach out to the developer to aid in developing a patch.

The condition to enter this if branch must meet one of the following cases:

  • Tag shorten=true: In the default template, only subdomains have this tag ⇒ Subdomains cannot contain special characters, so XSS is not possible.
  • len(fileContent) > r.Opt.MDCodeBlockLimit: Simply put, the content length needs to exceed the MDCodeBlockLimit configuration (default is 10,000).

After reviewing the files loaded in the default template, we select Spider Content because it meets the conditions:

  • It can contain special characters since the spider retrieves results through Katana ⇒ Katana parses content based on <a> tags ⇒ We can create custom payloads by leveraging this mechanism."
