TITLE

Cisco IOS of HTTP Server cross-site request forgery vulnerability

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2009-001355

DESCRIPTION

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the HTTP server in Cisco IOS 12.4(23) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands, as demonstrated by executing the hostname command with a level/15/configure/-/hostname request. IOS is prone to a cross-site request forgery vulnerability. Cisco IOS is an operating system developed by Cisco in the United States for its network equipment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site. 2) The device allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to potentially alter the configuration of the device by tricking the user into visiting a malicious web site. The vulnerabilities are reported in Cisco IOS firmware version 12.4(23). Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Filter malicious characters and character sequences in a proxy. Do not visit untrusted websites while being logged in to the device.
