TITLE

Schneider Electric Kerweb and Kerwin Vulnerable to cross-site scripting

DESCRIPTION

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Schneider Electric Kerweb before 3.0.1 and Kerwin before 6.0.1 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the evtvariablename parameter in an evts.xml action to kw.dll, (2) unspecified search fields, or (3) unspecified content-display fields. (1) kw.dll of evts.xml In action evtvariablename Parameters (2) Unspecified search field (3) Unspecified content display field. Schneider Electric provides total solutions for the energy and infrastructure, industrial, data center and network, building and residential markets in more than 100 countries. The kw.dll provided by Schneider Electric Telecontrol Kerwin/Kerweb fails to properly filter the 'evtvariablename' parameter, etc., and an attacker can exploit the vulnerability for HTML injection attacks, build malicious WEB pages, entice users to parse, obtain sensitive information or hijack user sessions. Multiple Schneider Electric Telecontrol products are prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because they fail to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data before it is used in dynamic content. Attacker-supplied HTML or JavaScript code could run in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible. The following products are affected: Schneider Electric Telecontrol Kerweb versions prior to 3.0.1 Schneider Electric Telecontrol Kerwin versions prior to 6.0.1. Thus, the web application suffers from multiple reflected XSS vulnerabilities. Exploitation is made easier as parameters are passed with GET HTTP method. Example: An URL can be forged by injecting code in one of the parameter, like 'evtvariablename' here: http://<server>/kw.dll?page=evts.xml&sessionid=xxx&nomenu=&typeevtwin=alms&dt=&gtvariablevalue=&ltvariablevalue=&variablevalue=&nevariablevalue=&evtclass=&evtdevicezone=&evtdevicecountry=&evtdeviceregion=&evtstatustype=&evtseveritytype=&evtstatus=&evtseverity=&evtlevel=&gtdateapp=&ltdateapp=&gtdaterec=&ltdaterec=&evtvariablename="</script><script>alert(1)</script>"&evtdevicename=&evtnature=&evttype=&gtduration=&ltduration=&gtdurationvalue=&gtdurationwide=1&ltdurationvalue=&ltdurationwide=1 Vendor status: Vendor was contacted and a fix was released (with Kerweb 3.0.1 and Kerwin 6.0.1) Mitigation: Upgrade to Kerweb 3.0.1 and Kerwin 6.0.1 CVE: CVE-2012-1990 Timeline: 06/20/2011: vendor disclosure (ticket reference : KN10915) 07/22/2011: vendor response 09/01/2012: fix released 05/05/2012: public disclosure --- phocean . ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Become a PSI 3.0 beta tester!
