Executive Summary

CVE-2019-25731 is a persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Zuz Music version 2.1. It allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious JavaScript code by submitting crafted data through the name, subject, and message fields in POST requests to the /gmusic/zuzconsole/___contact endpoint.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability can be detected by testing the /gmusic/zuzconsole/___contact endpoint for persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) by submitting crafted POST requests with malicious JavaScript code in the name, subject, and message parameters.

A practical approach is to send POST requests with script tags or JavaScript payloads in these fields and then verify if the injected script executes when viewing the messages in the administrator inbox interface.

Example command using curl to test injection:

• curl -X POST https://[target]/gmusic/zuzconsole/___contact -d "name=<script>alert('XSS')</script>&subject=test&message=test"

After sending such a request, check the admin inbox interface to see if the alert or injected script executes, indicating the presence of the vulnerability.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediate mitigation steps include sanitizing and validating all input fields (name, subject, message) on the /gmusic/zuzconsole/___contact endpoint to prevent injection of malicious scripts.

Administrators should avoid viewing untrusted messages in the inbox interface until the vulnerability is patched.

Applying updates or patches provided by the vendor or upgrading to a version of Zuz Music that addresses this vulnerability is strongly recommended.

Additionally, implementing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers can help mitigate the impact of injected scripts.
