IBM WebSphere MQ 7.0.3/7.0.4/7.5 cross-site request forgery

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 IBM WebSphere MQ 7.0.3/7.0.4/7.5 (Application Server Software). It has been declared as critical. This vulnerability affects an unknown part. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a cross-site request forgery vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-352. The web application does not, or can not, sufficiently verify whether a well-formed, valid, consistent request was intentionally provided by the user who submitted the request. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in the Web Gateway component in IBM WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition 7.0.4 and earlier, and WebSphere MQ - Managed File Transfer 7.5, allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of arbitrary users for requests that (1) add user accounts via the /wmqfteconsole/Filespaces URI, (2) modify permissions via the /wmqfteconsole/FileSpacePermisssions URI, or (3) add MQ Message Descriptor (MQMD) user accounts via the /wmqfteconsole/UploadUsers URI.

The weakness was shared 08/10/2012 as 1607482 as confirmed bulletin (Website). The advisory is available at www-01.ibm.com. The vendor cooperated in the coordination of the public release. This vulnerability was named CVE-2012-3294 since 06/07/2012. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack needs to be done within the local network. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. Successful exploitation requires user interaction by the victim. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available.

A public exploit has been developed by Nir Valtman and been published 3 days after the advisory. It is possible to download the exploit at exploit-db.com. It is declared as highly functional. As 0-day the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k.

Applying a patch is able to eliminate this problem. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.
