|
|
SecurityTracker Alert ID: 1015332 |
|
SecurityTracker URL: http://securitytracker.com/id/1015332
|
|
CVE Reference:
GENERIC-MAP-NOMATCH
(Links to External Site)
|
Date: Dec 8 2005
|
Impact:
Disclosure of authentication information, Disclosure of user information, Execution of arbitrary code via network, Modification of user information
|
Exploit Included: Yes
|
Version(s): 2.99i20
|
Description:
A vulnerability was reported in PerlCal. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
The 'cal_make.pl' script does not properly filter HTML code from user-supplied input in the p0 parameter before displaying 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 PerlCal 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]/cgi-bin/perlcal/cal_make.pl?p0=3D%3Cscript%3Ealert('hi');%3C/script%3E

Impact:

Vendor: Perl-Cal
Version tested: Perl-Cal 2.99.20 , other versions may also be affected.
Type: Cross Site Scripting
Severity: Medium
Vulnerability discovered:- 23rd Nov 2005
Date released:-8 dec 2005
Vulnerability Type: Input Validation Error
Overview:- PerlCal is a CGI script written by Acme Software that allows
web-based calendar sharing and related functions.There exists a cross-site
scripting vulnerability as the input in one of the parameters(p0) is not
filtered correctly.
Description:- The cross-site scripting bug can be executed with a URL like
so:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/perlcal/cal_make.pl
?p0=3D%3Cscript%3Ealert('hi');%3C/script%3E
This issue could permit a remote attacker to create a malicious URL link
that includes hostile HTML and script code. If this link were to be
followed, the hostile code may be rendered in the web browser of the victim
user. This would occur in the security context of the affected Web site.
Demonstration:- http://localhost/cgi-bin/perlcal/cal_make.pl
?p0=3D%3Cscript%3Ewindow.open('http://www.google.com');%3Cscript%3E<http://=
www.google.com%27%29;%3Cscript%3E>
Other attacks:-
http://localhost/cgi-bin/perlcal/cal_make.pl
?p0=3D%3Cscript%3Ealert(document.cookie);</script>
