Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Igniterealtime Openfire. It has been rated as critical. This issue affects some unknown processing. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Directory traversal vulnerability in the AuthCheck filter in the Admin Console in Openfire 3.6.0a and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and access the admin interface via a .. (dot dot) in a URI that matches the Exclude-Strings list, as demonstrated by a /setup/setup-/.. sequence in a URI.

The bug was discovered 11/07/2008. The weakness was shared 03/23/2009 by Andreas Kurtz (Website). The advisory is shared at igniterealtime.org. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2008-6508 since 03/23/2009. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1006 for this issue.

A public exploit has been developed by Metasploit and been published even before and not after the advisory. The exploit is available at securityfocus.com. It is declared as highly functional. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 2 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 34725 (Openfire AuthCheck Authentication Bypass), 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. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 116034 (Openfire Multiple Input Validation Vulnerabilities).

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability. Furthermore it is possible to detect and prevent this kind of attack with TippingPoint and the filter 8793.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (46488), Exploit-DB (19432), Tenable (34725), SecurityFocus (BID 32189†) and OSVDB (49663†). The entries VDB-41917, VDB-48105, VDB-47251 and VDB-47250 are related to this item. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
