Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Citrix XenCenterWeb (Connectivity Software) (version unknown). This affects an unknown function. The manipulation of the argument pool1 with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Static code injection vulnerability in config/writeconfig.php in the sample code in the XenServer Resource Kit in Citrix XenCenterWeb allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary PHP code into include/config.ini.php via the pool1 parameter. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

The weakness was disclosed 10/22/2009 by Alberto Trivero (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at vupen.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2009-3760 since 10/22/2009. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details and a public exploit are known. The attack technique deployed by this issue is T1059 according to MITRE ATT&CK.

A public exploit has been developed by Secure Network and been published before and not just 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 104 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k.

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at Exploit-DB (9106), SecurityFocus (BID 35592†) and SecurityTracker (ID 1022520†).
