PRODUCT            : WebcamXP
PRODUCT/VENDOR URL : http://www.darkwet.net/
TYPE               : Vulnerability / Exploit
IMPACT             : Medium
SUMMARY            : Code Injection Vulnerabilities in WebcamXP Chat 
Feature
DISCOVERY DATE     : 00/03/2003
PUBLIC RELEASE     : 02/05/2003
AFFECTED VERSION(S): All (as of discovery date)
FIXED VERSION(S)   : None
VENDOR NOTIFIED    : Yes

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

BACKGROUNDER:

Vendor web site states that WebcamXP is a "powerful webcam utility with an
integrated http server so you don't need to install a web server on your
computer. Works under all windows os and the server port can be changed."

INTRODUCTION:

We have discovered various code injection vulnerabilities in the chat 
feature
of WebcamXP.

ADVISORY URL:

This advisory is available in its original format at the following URL:
http://www.frame4.com/content/advisories/FSA-2003-002.txt

VENDOR CONTACT:

We have emailed the creator of the program, "wet", on wet@...kwet.net with 
the
specifics of this vulnerability on the release date of this advisory.

VULNERABILITY DESCRIPTION:

Please refer to the 'Technical Description' section below, for full 
description
of the problem(s).

VULNERABLE APPLICATION(S)/PACKAGE(S)/VERSION(S):

We have tested these vulnerabilities between two versions; v1.02.432 and 
the
latest build, v1.02.535. Whereas the chatbox feature on the application 
side
seems to be pretty immune to code injection (MOST code gets stripped), the 
web
page portion is far from being safe.

Although the tests have been carried out between two builds of the 
program, it
is highly possible that other versions behave the same way. The tests were 
only
carried out using Microsoft Internet Explorer.

SOLUTION/VENDOR INFORMATION/WORKAROUND:

None as yet. Although recently the server portion of the chat feature has 
been
upgraded (where certain tags get filtered), the problems still seem to 
exist.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION - EXPLOIT/CONCEPT CODE:

The below examples are merely a small portion of what could be possible 
and in
no way constitute an exhaustive list of potential vulnerabilities.

[001] Code Injection 1

We have ascertained that typing &lt;script&gt;alert(document.cookie);&lt;/script&gt; 
in the
message field on the web page generates a message box whereas this should 
be
ignored. You can see an actual screen shot of this at the following URL:
http://www.frame4.com/content/advisories/FSA-2003-002-01.jpg

[002] Code Injection 2

Following on from the previous example, we have also noticed that in a 
similar
manner, an IFRAME can be generated by simply typing the 
following 'command' in
the message field: <iframe src="http://frame4.com"></iframe>. You can find 
the
relevant screen shots of this 'feature' at the following URLs:
http://www.frame4.com/content/advisories/FSA-2003-002-01.jpg
http://www.frame4.com/content/advisories/FSA-2003-002-02.jpg
http://www.frame4.com/content/advisories/FSA-2003-002-03.jpg

[003] Code Injection 3

This is the "showstopper". We have discovered that the IFRAME can 
be "pushed"
onto the chat initiator in the same fashion. In this case, a webcam 
operator
for example, can inject a script "out" to the user via the internal chat 
box.
A screen shot of this problem can be seen here:
http://www.frame4.com/content/advisories/FSA-2003-002-04.jpg

[004] "Malformed Code" Injection

Whereas the command <iframe src="http://frame4.com"></iframe> creates a 
perfect
IFRAME (see above), if we issue (by accident) the same command in 
the "wrong"
manner, i.e.:

&lt;script&gt;alert(document.cookie);&lt;/script&gt;<iframe 
src=http://frame4.com</iframe>

the page goes into some kind of 'loop'. The message box gets generated and 
then
we DO get an IFRAME (and rightly, you get an 404 as the content) but the 
scroll
bars disappear and the page just stops responding.

Closing the browser and re-opening at the chat URL has absolutely no 
effect, as
the above loop gets repeated and the situation does not change until the 
other
party resets or refreshes their page. A screen shot of this problem can be 
seen
