Rational ClearCase Input Validation Flaw in Rational Web Platform Permits Cross-Site Scripting Attacks
SecurityTracker Alert ID:  1021295
SecurityTracker URL:  http://securitytracker.com/id?1021295
CVE Reference:  CVE-2008-5330   (Links to External Site)
Updated:  Dec 8 2008
Original Entry Date:  Dec 2 2008
Impact:  Disclosure of authentication information, Disclosure of user information, Execution of arbitrary code via network, Modification of user information
Fix Available:  Yes   Vendor Confirmed:  Yes  
Version(s): 7.0.1.1
Description:  A vulnerability was reported in Rational ClearCase. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Several scripts do not properly filter HTML code from user-supplied input before displaying the input. A remote user can create a specially crafted URL that, when loaded by a target authenticated user, will cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target user's browser. The code will originate from the site running the Rational Web Platform (RWP) 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.

A demonstration exploit URL is provided:

http://[target]/ccrc/??''??script?alert(1234)?/script?=1

IBM has assigned APAR PK70972 to this vulnerability.
Impact:  A remote user can access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site running the Rational ClearCase 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:  The vendor has issued fixed versions (7.0.0.4, 7.0.1.3).

The vendor's advisory is available at:
