Sun Java System Web Server up to 7.0 input validation

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 very critical has been found in Sun Java System Web Server up to 7.0 (Web Server). This affects an unknown functionality. 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:

Sun Java System Application Server and Web Server 7.0 through 9.0 before 20070710 do not properly process XSLT stylesheets in XSLT transforms in XML signatures, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute an arbitrary Java method via a crafted stylesheet, a related issue to CVE-2007-3716.

The bug was discovered 07/10/2007. The weakness was presented 07/10/2007 by Brad Hill with iSEC Partners (Website). The advisory is shared at sunsolve.sun.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2007-3715 since 07/11/2007. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 06/07/2025). It is expected to see the exploit prices for this product decreasing in the near future.

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 26988 (Solaris 10 (sparc) : 125437-22 (deprecated)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Solaris Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 86767 (Sun Java XSLT Stylesheets Processing Code Execution Vulnerability (1000041.1)).

A possible mitigation has been published 5 years after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (35335), Tenable (26988), SecurityFocus (BID 24850†), OSVDB (37248†) and Secunia (SA26023†). See VDB-37774 for similar entry. If you want to get the best quality for vulnerability data then you always have to consider VulDB.
