IBM WebSphere Application Server up to 6.x HTTP Host-Header information disclosure

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in IBM WebSphere Application Server up to 6.x (Application Server Software). Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown code of the component HTTP Host-Header Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a information disclosure vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-200. The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.0 and earlier, when sharing the document root of the web server, allows remote attackers to obtain the source code for Java Server Pages (.jsp) via an HTTP request with an invalid Host header, which causes the page to be processed by the web server instead of the JSP engine.

The bug was discovered 04/14/2005. The weakness was shared 04/14/2005 by SPI Dynamics and Inc. with SPI Labs (Website). The advisory is shared at secunia.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2005-1112 since 04/16/2005. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1592 for this issue.

After before and not just, there has been an exploit disclosed. It is possible to download the exploit at exploit-db.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 1 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 18047 (IBM WebSphere Application Server Malformed Host Header JSP Source Disclosure), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family CGI abuses and running in the context r.

Applying a patch is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at ibm.com.
