TITLE:
OpenWFE "url" Cross-Site Scripting and Remote "Port Scanning"
Vulnerabilities
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA12970
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/12970/
CRITICAL:
Less critical
IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting, Spoofing
WHERE:
From remote
SOFTWARE:
OpenWFE 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/4151/
DESCRIPTION:
Joxean Koret has reported two vulnerabilities in OpenWFE, which can
be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks and use a vulnerable system for port scanning other hosts.
1) Input passed to the web client's "url" parameter in "login.action"
isn't properly sanitised 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 a vulnerable site.
2) The web client accepts arbitrary hosts in the "worklist URL". This
can e.g. be exploited to conduct port scanning of arbitrary hosts by
examining the error output.
SOLUTION:
The vulnerabilities have reportedly been fixed in version 1.4.6 in
the CVS repository.
