TITLE

Profense Web Application Firewall of ajax.html Vulnerable to cross-site request forgery

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2009-003238

DESCRIPTION

Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in ajax.html in Profense Web Application Firewall 2.6.2 and 2.6.3 allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that (1) shutdown the server, (2) send ping packets, (3) enable network services, (4) configure a proxy server, and (5) modify other settings via parameters in the query string. Profense is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability and a cross-site request-forgery vulnerability. An attacker can exploit the cross-site request forgery issue to alter the settings on affected devices. This may lead to further network-based attacks. The attacker can exploit the cross-site scripting issue to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials. Other attacks are also possible. Profense 2.6.2 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Did you know that a change in our assessment rating, exploit code availability, or if an updated patch is released by the vendor, is not part of this mailing-list?

This can be exploited to perform certain actions, e.g. to shutdown the system, by enticing a logged-in administrator to visit a malicious web site. The vulnerability is reported in version 2.6.2 and confirmed in version 2.6.3. SOLUTION: Do not follow untrusted links and do not visit untrusted web sites while being logged-in to the web-based management interface.
