TITLE:
Hipergate Multiple Vulnerabilities
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38385
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38385/
DESCRIPTION:
Nahuel Grisolía has discovered some vulnerabilities and a security
issue in Hipergate, which can be exploited by malicious users to
conduct script insertion attacks and by malicious people to bypass
certain security restrictions or conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.
1) Input passed via the "title" and "desc" parameters to
common/errmsg.jsp and common/pwd_errmsg.jsp is not properly sanitised
before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context
of an affected site.
2) Access to admin/sql.htm is not properly restricted, which can be
exploited to execute arbitrary SQL commands without prior
authentication.
3) Input passed via the "nm_campaign" parameter when adding a new
campaign is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be
exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be
executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site
when the malicious data is being viewed.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires privileges to
add new campaigns.
The vulnerabilities and the security issue are confirmed in version
5.0-1. Other versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Filter malicious characters and character sequences in a proxy.
Grant only trusted users access to the application.
Restrict network access to admin/sql.htm.
