Discovery Status:
=================
Published


Affected Product(s):
====================
Barracuda Networks
Product: Spam & Virus Firewall 5.1.0.012 (Model 600)


Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Remote


Severity Level:
===============
Medium


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A non persistent cross site scripting vulnerability has been discovered in the official Barracuda Networks Spam&Virus Firewall 600 v5.1.0.x Appliance Application.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to hijack website customer, moderator or admin sessions informaton by client-side cross site scripting requests.

The vulnerability is located in the main `index.cgi` module of the appliance. The vulnerable application GET values are `auth_type`, `primary_tab` and `secoundary_tab`. 
The client-side script code execution occurs in the `index.cgi` after processing to click the client-side manipulated link with the cross site scripting payload. 
The attack vector of the vulnerability is located on the client-side of the appliance service. The request method to inject the script code is `GET`.

The security risk of the non-persistent input validation web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 2.3.
Exploitation of the client-side remote vulnerability requires low or medium user interaction and no privileged application user account. Successful exploitation results 
in client-side account theft by hijacking, client-side phishing, client-side external redirects and non-persistent manipulation of appliance application- or connected modules.

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerable function and script context should be filtered when processing to encode meta characters in client-side user inputs. 
Especially when the context will be prepared to reflect inside of the main page index.cgi context.


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the client-side cross site scripting web vulnerabilities are estimated as medium(-).
