Message-ID: <CAATS1p-6ebnNGEMQ4iN6r3ku2gBo=WbKpcquYTFRXN6Fg2FbpQ@mail.gmail.com> Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2017 10:10:28 +1000 From: Patrick Webster <patrick@...security.com.au> To: bugtraq@...urityfocus.com, fulldisclosure@...lists.org Subject: [FD] Trend Micro Hosted Email Security (HES) - Email Interception and Direct Object Reference Date: 24-Aug-2017 Product: Trend Micro Hosted Email Security (HES) Versions affected: Hosted Email Security before January 2012. Vulnerability: Two vulnerabilities were discovered. The first allowed any HES user to intercept in-transit emails through the Trend Micro Hosted Email Security cloud environment. The platform allowed anyone to register an account online instantly and test the solution. Users were required to 'activate' (enter) a domain name, then update their MX records to enable filtering. However, to enable migration testing, rules became active immediately without waiting for MX records to be updated. This was intended, however the HES environment itself was shared across all customers - therefore anyone could create a policy for a domain which wasn't theirs or a pre-existing customers and start intercepting, modifying / rewriting content, BCC copying emails, quarantining or deleting messages which came from@...ain.com or to@...keddomain.com if passed through HES. Reproduction steps: 1) Register a free Trend Micro HES account. 2) Activate a domain name you want to filter - be creative (gmail.com, mac.com, apple.com, microsoft.com, ibm.com, plus banks / military / large ISPs / government domains worked exceptionally well!) 3) While the domain has not been valid, create a new policy rule, e.g. "BCC all messages" to your personal email address. 4) Watch your inbox run out of disk space. Interception revealed Sender, Recipient, Subject and in some cases entire email contents with attachments if applicable. Email Interception Statistics ### 7,000 emails in 3 hours. 21,000 emails in 13 hours. 78,500 emails in 24 hours. 96,000 emails in 30 hours. 1,221,535 emails in 8 days. ### The second vulnerability allowed any HES authenticated customer to view or change other cloud user's rules via Direct Object Reference. E.g. https://us.emailsec.trendmicro.com/editRule.imss?ruleid=44281 https://us.emailsec.trendmicro.com/editRule.imss?ruleid=44282 https://us.emailsec.trendmicro.com/editRule.imss?ruleid=44283 etc Credit: Discovered by Patrick Webster Disclosure timeline: 09-Dec-2011 - Interception issue discovered during testing.
