From: advisory at stgsecurity.com (SSR Team) Subject: STG Security Advisory: [SSA-20030701-02] Verity K2 Toolkit Query Builder XSS Vulnerability -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 STG Security Advisory: [SSA-20030701-02] Verity K2 Toolkit Query Builder XSS Vulnerability Revision 1.0 Date Published: 2003-07-01 (KST) Last Update: 2003-07-01 Disclosed by SSR Team (advisory@...security.com) Summary =================== Verity's K2 Toolkit provides e-commerce developers with text retrieval capabilities and application integration features necessary for customization including catalog navigation and content search functions. Verity's K2 Toolkit has a XSS vulnerability in Query Builder. Vulnerability Class =================== Implementation Error: Inappropriate Input Validation Details ======= Query Builder in Verity K2 Toolkit executes a malicious JavaScript command injected in query string when displaying error messages. Proof of Concept: http://[victim site]/[search].jsp?[query]=><img src=javascript:alert(document.cookie)> Result: Internal Servlet Error: Error E1-0111 (Query Builder): Syntax error in query string near character [foo] Error E1-0111 (Query Builder): Syntax error in query string near character [bar] Error E1-0114 (Query Builder): Error parsing query: [JAVASCRIPT RUNS HERE!] ... Using this cross site scripting vulnerability, an attacker can hijack the session of an administrator and deploy viruses or worms via vulnerable web browsers. Impact ====== At August 2002, Eye on Security released an article entitled "Bypassing JavaScript Filters - the Flash! Attack" on the attacking method utilizing cross site scripting vulnerabilities. A highly effective automated tool using this method for session hijacking in the wild enables a hacker to acquire the privilege of administrators and to alter or erase the web pages of an victim site. Workaround ========== To workaround this problem, programmers must implement below exception process mechanisms. 1. Catch exceptions and redirect users to a static error page predefined. 2. Log all errors to a log file for your debugging purpose. Affected Products ================== Verity K2 Toolkit v2.20 for RS/6000 is vulnerable. We don't know whether another product has this vulnerability.
