Background
Dolibarr is an open-source application used for managing business processes, including CRM, invoicing, inventory, and more. It provides a web-based interface for users to access and interact with various modules. However, a vulnerability has been discovered in the Dolibarr Application Home Page, which allows for HTML injection attacks. This vulnerability enables an attacker to inject arbitrary HTML tags and manipulate the rendered content in the application's response. The impact of this vulnerability can be severe, potentially leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks.
Vulnerability Detail
The HTML injection vulnerability in the Dolibarr Application Home Page allows an attacker to inject arbitrary HTML tags into the application's response. By submitting a specially crafted payload in a body parameter during the login request, an attacker can successfully inject new HTML tags and manipulate the rendered content. In this case, the payload used was "u70ea%22%3e%3c!--HTML_Injection_By_Sai"=1". As a result, some part of the Home page HTML code was commented out. This vulnerability can be exploited to perform various attacks, including Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
