Google Mini Search Appliance Error Message proxystylesheet cross site scripting

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 was found in Google Mini Search Appliance (version now known). It has been classified as problematic. This affects some unknown processing of the component Error Message Handler. The manipulation of the argument proxystylesheet with an unknown input leads to a cross site scripting vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-80. The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special characters such as "<", ">", and "&" that could be interpreted as web-scripting elements when they are sent to a downstream component that processes web pages. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

Google Mini Search Appliance, and possibly Google Search Appliance, allows remote attackers to port scan arbitrary hosts via URLs with modified targets and ports, then comparing the resulting error messages to determine open and closed ports.

The bug was discovered 06/10/2005. The weakness was presented 11/21/2005 by H D Moore with MetaSploit (Website). The advisory is shared at metasploit.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2005-3756 since 11/22/2005. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. It demands that the victim is doing some kind of user interaction. Technical details and a public exploit are known. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1059.007 for this issue.

A public exploit has been developed in Perl Module and been published immediately after the advisory. The exploit is shared for download at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 163 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 20241 (Google Search Appliance proxystylesheet Parameter Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities (XSS, Code Exec, ID)), 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.

A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability. Furthermore it is possible to detect and prevent this kind of attack with TippingPoint and the filter 3948.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (23280), Tenable (20241), SecurityFocus (BID 15509†), OSVDB (20979†) and Secunia (SA17644†). See VDB-27035, VDB-27034, VDB-27032 and VDB-27031 for similar entries. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
