Technical Details & Description:
================================
A persistent input validation web vulnerability has been discovered in PHP Melody v3.0 video \
cms web-application. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own malicious script \
codes with persistent attack vector to compromise browser to web-application requests from the \
application-side.

The persistent input validation web vulnerability is located in the `submitted` parameter of \
the `edit-video.php`. Remote attackers with privileged user accounts like editors or moderators \
are able to inject own malicious script code as author that submits. The request method to \
inject is post and the execution occurs with persistent attack vector in the `watch.php` \
frontend file.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, persistent phishing \
attacks, persistent external redirects to malicious source and persistent manipulation of \
affected application modules.

Request Method(s):
[+] POST

Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] Edit Video

Vulnerable File(s):
[+] edit-video.php

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
[+] submitted

Affected File(s):
[+] watch.php

Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The persistent validation vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers with privileged \
editor user account and with low user interaction. For security demonstration or to reproduce \
the web vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.

=======================
The vulnerability can be resolved by the following steps ...
1. Encode, escape or filter the vulnerable submitted parameter in the post method request

3. Sanitize the watch.php output location to prevent the execution point
4. Alternativ setup security headers and a web firewall or filter to prevent further \
exploitation
