CitadelCVEs & Vulnerabilities

A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in Citadel versions prior to 994. When a malicious user sends an instant message with some JavaScript code, the script may be executed on the web browser of the victim user.

An issue was discovered in Citadel through webcit-932. A meddler-in-the-middle attacker can fixate their own session during the cleartext phase before a STARTTLS command (a violation of "The STARTTLS command is only valid in non-authenticated state." in RFC2595). This potentially allows an attacker to cause a victim's e-mail messages to be stored into an attacker's IMAP mailbox, but depends on details of the victim's client behavior.

An issue was discovered in Citadel through webcit-926. Meddler-in-the-middle attackers can pipeline commands after POP3 STLS, IMAP STARTTLS, or SMTP STARTTLS commands, injecting cleartext commands into an encrypted user session. This can lead to credential disclosure.

An Insecure Direct Object Reference vulnerability in Citadel WebCit through 926 allows authenticated remote attackers to read someone else's emails via the msg_confirm_move template. NOTE: this was reported to the vendor in a publicly archived "Multiple Security Vulnerabilities in WebCit 926" thread.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Citadel WebCit through 926 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via multiple pages and parameters. NOTE: this was reported to the vendor in a publicly archived "Multiple Security Vulnerabilities in WebCit 926" thread.

Citadel WebCit through 926 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to enumerate valid users within the platform. NOTE: this was reported to the vendor in a publicly archived "Multiple Security Vulnerabilities in WebCit 926" thread.

A Weak Session Management vulnerability in Citadel WebCit through 926 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to hijack recently logged-in users' sessions. NOTE: this was reported to the vendor in a publicly archived "Multiple Security Vulnerabilities in WebCit 926" thread.

modules/xmpp/serv_xmpp.c in Citadel 7.86 and earlier does not properly detect recursion during entity expansion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) via a crafted XML document containing a large number of nested entity references, a similar issue to CVE-2003-1564.

Format string vulnerability in the mini_calendar component in Citadel.org WebCit 7.22, and other versions before 7.39, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

Buffer overflow in Citadel SMTP server 7.10 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long RCPT TO command, which is not properly handled by the makeuserkey function. NOTE: some of these details were obtained from third party information.

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Webcit before 7.11 allows remote attackers to modify configurations and perform other actions as arbitrary users via unspecified vectors.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Webcit before 7.11 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the who parameter to showuser; and other vectors involving (2) calendar mode, (3) bulletin board mode, (4) room names, and (5) uploaded file names.

Format string vulnerability in the lprintf function in Citadel/UX 6.27 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers sent to the server.

Buffer overflow in Citadel/UX 6.23 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long username.

Citadel/UX 5.00 through 6.14 installs the database directory and files with world-read permissions, which could allow local users to bypass access controls and read unauthorized messages.

Buffer overflow in (1) lprintf and (2) cprintf in sysdep.c of Citadel/UX 5.90 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via attacks such as a long HELO command to the SMTP server.
