Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Symantec Endpoint Protection up to 12.1 (Anti-Malware Software). This affects an unknown functionality of the component Script Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

The management console in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) 11.0 before RU7-MP3 and 12.1 before RU2, and Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition 12.x before 12.1 RU2, does not properly validate input for PHP scripts, which allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

The weakness was presented 12/10/2012 by SecuriTeam with SecuriTeam Secure Disclosure as SYM12-019 as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is shared at symantec.com. The public release was coordinated in cooperation with Symantec. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2012-4348 since 08/16/2012. The exploitability is told to be difficult. The attack can only be done within the local network. The successful exploitation needs a authentication. Technical details are unknown but a private exploit is available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 120737 (Symantec Endpoint Protection Management PHP Script Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (SYM12-019)).

Upgrading to version SEP 11.0 RU7-MP3 or SEP 12.1RU2 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.
