Python XML Libraries information disclosure

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.

Summaryinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Python. This vulnerability affects unknown code in the library XML Libraries. The manipulation results in information disclosure. This vulnerability was named CVE-2013-1665. In addition, an exploit is available.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Python (Programming Language Software) (affected version not known). Affected is some unknown functionality in the library XML Libraries. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a information disclosure vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-200. The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

The XML libraries for Python 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, 2.7, and 2.6, as used in OpenStack Keystone Essex and Folsom, Django, and possibly other products allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files via an XML external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference, aka an XML External Entity (XXE) attack.

The weakness was presented 02/19/2013 by Jonathan Murray, Joshua Harlow and Stuart Stent with NCC Group/Yahoo as 1100279 as not defined posting (Website). The advisory is available at bugs.launchpad.net. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2013-1665 since 02/13/2013. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. A authentication is required for exploitation. Technical details and a private exploit are known. This vulnerability is assigned to T1592 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 64898 (Debian DSA-2634-1 : python-django - several vulnerabilities), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Debian Local Security Checks. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 166454 (OpenSuSE Security Update for python-django to 1.4.5 (openSUSE-SU-2013:1248-1)).

Applying a patch is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at review.openstack.org.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (82203), Tenable (64898), SecurityFocus (BID 58022†), OSVDB (90363†) and Secunia (SA52243†).
