RCE Security Advisory http://ift.tt/1FlL0Pz 1. ADVISORY INFORMATION ======================= Product: AlienVault USM/OSSIM Vendor URL: www.alienvault.com Type: Cross-Site Scripting [CWE-79] Date found: 2016-05-24 Date published: 2016-08-23 CVSSv3 Score: 5.4 (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) CVE: CVE-2016-6913 2. CREDITS ========== This vulnerability was discovered and researched by Julien Ahrens from RCE Security. 3. VERSIONS AFFECTED ==================== AlienVault OSSIM 5.2 AlienVault USM 5.2 older versions may be affected too. 4. INTRODUCTION =============== OSSIM, AlienVault’s Open Source Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) product, provides you with a feature-rich open source SIEM complete with event collection, normalization and correlation. Launched by security engineers because of the lack of available open source products, OSSIM was created specifically to address the reality many security professionals face: A SIEM, whether it is open source or commercial, is virtually useless without the basic security controls necessary for security visibility. (from the vendor's homepage) 5. VULNERABILITY DETAILS ======================== The script "/ossim/conf/reload.php" is vulnerable to an authenticated DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability when user-supplied input to the HTTP GET parameter "back" is processed by the web application. Since the application does not properly validate and sanitize this parameter, it is possible to place arbitrary script code in a document.location.href property which could also be used to redirect a user. The following Proof-of-Concept triggers this vulnerability: http://ift.tt/2bCOhqc The payload is used in a JavaScript, which is embedded within the "/ossim/conf/reload.php" page: 6. RISK ======= To successfully exploit this vulnerability an authenticated user must be tricked into visiting an arbitrary website while having an authenticated session in the application. The vulnerability can be used to temporarily embed arbitrary script code into the context of the AlienVault administrative interface, which offers a wide range of possible attacks such as redirecting the user to a malicious page or attacking the browser and its plugins. 7. SOLUTION =========== Update to AlienVault OSSIM/USM 5.3 8.
