Sakai 10.7 Multiple Vulnerabilities


Vendor: Apereo Foundation
Product web page: https://www.sakaiproject.org
Affected version: 10.7 (Kernel 10.7)

Summary: Sakai is a free, community source, educational software
platform designed to support teaching, research and collaboration.
Systems of this type are also known as Course Management Systems (CMS),
Learning Management Systems (LMS), or Virtual Learning Environments (VLE).

Desc: Sakai suffers from multiple reflected cross-site scripting vulnerabilities
when input passed via several parameters to several scripts is not properly
sanitized before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an
affected site. Also there is a file disclosure vulnerability when calling
custom tool script. It is not properly verified before being used to read files.
This can be exploited to disclose contents of files from local resources.

Tested on: Apache-Coyote/1.1

LFI when calling custom tool (Affects Apache Wicket tools like Profile2 and Statistics.
Adding "../" is not needed to reproduce the issue. It can be reproduced just by visiting:

GET /portal/tool/41fec34b-a47c-4aa5-8786-3873533f44fa/CvnkzU-31z-1QPe7Z2iQOA/../WEB-INF/web.xml HTTP/1.1
