Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in SonicWALL Email Security 7.4.5 (Anti-Malware Software). It has been declared as problematic. This vulnerability affects an unknown functionality of the component License Management/Advanced Pages. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a cross site scripting vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-79. The product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. As an impact it is known to affect integrity.

The weakness was released 03/26/2014 by Benjamin Kunz Mejri as VL-ID 1191 as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is available at vulnerability-lab.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2014-2879 since 04/17/2014. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. Successful exploitation requires user interaction by the victim. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. This vulnerability is assigned to T1059.007 by the MITRE ATT&CK project. The advisory points out:

The first vulnerability is located in the 'filename' value of the 'settings_advanced.html' file. Remote attackers and low privileged application user accounts are able to inject own malicious script codes to the application-side of the 'Advanced Settings - Patch hochladen > Patch-Datei' module. Attackers can manipulate the file upload POST method request by tampering the session. Next to tampering the session the attacker exchange the file name with a malicious script code as payload. In the next step the website reloads the next firmware upgrade page (wait.html) with the file details. The execute of the injected script code via POST method request occurs at the location of the listed file name value. The security risk of the persistent validation web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.5(-). The second vulnerability is located in the file name value of the settings_upload_dlicense.html file. Remote attackers and low privileged application user accounts are able to inject own malicious script codes to the application-side of the Lizenz Verwaltung - Lizenzen Upload module. The request method is POST and the attack vector is persistent. The execute occurs in the exception context of the license update page module. The security risk of the persistent validation web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.0(+).

A public exploit has been developed by Benjamin Kunz Mejri in HTTP POST Request and been published 1 days after the advisory. It is possible to download the exploit at vulnerability-lab.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 46 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k.

Upgrading to version 7.4.6 eliminates this vulnerability. The upgrade is hosted for download at mysonicwall.com. Applying a patch is able to eliminate this problem. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be patching the affected component. A possible mitigation has been published even before and not after the disclosure of the vulnerability. The advisory contains the following remark:

Both vulnerabilities can be patched by a secure parse and encode of the file name value in the 2 affected upload POST method requests. Filter and encode also in the wait.html and license exception the vulnerable output values even if the input is still parsed.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at Exploit-DB (32556), SecurityFocus (BID 66501†) and SecurityTracker (ID 1029965†). Entries connected to this vulnerability are available at VDB-12747 and VDB-69389. If you want to get best quality of vulnerability data, you may have to visit VulDB.
