Detection Guidance

The vulnerability is a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) issue in SOPlanning 1.52.00 via the groupe_id parameter to process/groupe_save.php. Detection would involve testing this parameter for XSS payload injection.

Since no specific detection commands or scripts are provided in the resources, a general approach would be to send HTTP requests to the vulnerable endpoint with typical XSS payloads in the groupe_id parameter and observe if the payload is reflected or executed.

For example, you could use curl to send a request like:

• curl -v -X POST 'http://target/process/groupe_save.php' --data 'groupe_id=<script>alert(1)</script>'

Then check the response or the behavior in the application to see if the script is executed or reflected, indicating the presence of the XSS vulnerability.
