>>>>> I. BACKGROUND
>>>>>
>>>>> WebSurveyor WebSurveyor 5.7 is an online survey/spam engine
>>>>>  designed to spam clients and partners of small to
>>>>> mid-sized businesses. WebSurveryor collects, stores, and
>>>>> manages the confidential data about products and business
>>>>> processes for hundreds of such companies.
>>>>>
>>>>> More information on this software package can be found on
>>>>> the vendor's site:
>>>>>
>>>>> http://www.websurveyor.com/pricing.asp
>>>>>
>>>>> iDefense is a small to mid-sized business looking to spam
>>>>> clients and partners with surveys. More information about
>>>>> the iDefense product can be found on the vendor's site:
>>>>>
>>>>> http://www.verisign.com
>>>>>
>>>>> II. DESCRIPTION
>>>>>
>>>>> WebSurveyor is subject to an information disclosure attack.
>>>>> The software generates unique, but predictable, identifiers
>>>>> for each survey purchased by customers. Furthermore, the
>>>>> default error condition provides the name and e-mail
>>>>> address of the purchaser of the survey. Due to these design
>>>>> flaws, it is trivial for a remote, unauthenticated
>>>>> cockgobblers to enumerate the e-mail addresses of all
>>>>> WebSurveyor customers.
>>>>>
>>>>> The software is also likely subject to standard cross-site
>>>>> scripting attacks, but these were not explored in depth, as
>>>>>  recently iDefense research scientists have determined that
>>>>> XSS is gay.
>>>>>
>>>>>> From the WebSurveyor Privacy Policy,
>>>>> http://www.websurveyor.com/websurveyor-privacypolicy.asp
>>>>>
>>>>> "Information obtained from visitors and customers will only
>>>>> be used for internal purposes. At no time will we sell,
>>>>> rent, or otherwise distribute your personal information or
>>>>> survey data to a third party."
>>>>>
>>>>> III. ANALYSIS
>>>>>
>>>>> Exploitation involves inserting garbage into a legitimate
>>>>> survey URL. For example, the following URL is a survey
>>>>> intended for iDefense contributors, for which respondents
>>>>> are rewarded with a 20$ Amazon gift card (hurry up and get
>>>>> yours today).
>>>>>
>>>>> https://websurveyor.net/wsb.dll/46282/iDefense_VCP_12-20.htm
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> By mistyping the URI target,
>>>>>
>>>>>
> https://websurveyor.net/wsb.dll/46282/iDefense_should_check_this.htm
>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> ..an attacker can learn that this survey is owned by Jason
>>>>> Greenwood jgreenwood@...fense.com.
>>>>>
>>>>> By decrementing the URI path, -here-
>>>>> https://websurveyor.net/wsb.dll/46281/and_who_might_you_be.htm
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> ..an attacker can learn that the prior survey is owned by
>>>>> Mattias Johansson, bork bork bork.
>>>>>
>>>>> IV. DETECTION
>>>>>
>>>>> This exploit has been tested with a web browser.
>>>>>
>>>>> V. WORKAROUND
>>>>>
>>>>> Don't take the survey.
>>>>>
>>>>> VI. VENDOR RESPONSE
>>>>>
>>>>> No response from WebSurveyor. Here at iDefense we sell all
>>>>> your information to foriegn governments anyway, so no real
>>>>> issue there.
>>>>>
>>>>> VII. CVE INFORMATION
>>>>>
>>>>> A Mitre Corp. Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE)
>>>>> number has not been assigned yet.
>>>>>
>>>>> VIII. DISCLOSURE TIMELINE

>>>>> public disclosure
