Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in Microsoft XML Core Services 1.x and classified as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown code of the component XSLT Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is 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. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Microsoft XML Core Services (aka MSXML) 4.0, 5.0, and 6.0 does not properly parse XML content, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web page, aka "MSXML XSLT Vulnerability."

The weakness was shared 01/08/2013 by Nicolas Gregoire (iDefense) with VeriSign iDefense Labs as MS13-002 as confirmed bulletin (Website). The advisory is shared at technet.microsoft.com. The vendor cooperated in the coordination of the public release. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2013-0007 since 11/27/2012. The attack can be launched remotely. A single authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a private exploit is available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1059 for this issue.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 63420 (MS13-002: Vulnerabilities in Microsoft XML Core Services Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2756145)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Windows : Microsoft Bulletins. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 90852 (Microsoft XML Core Services Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (MS13-002)).

Applying the patch MS13-002 is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at technet.microsoft.com. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (80874), Tenable (63420), SecurityFocus (BID 57122†), OSVDB (88958†) and Secunia (SA51773†).
