Summary

The XMLHttpRequest object in Opera 8.0 Final Build 1095 allows remote attackers to bypass access restrictions and perform unauthorized actions on other domains via a redirect.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Fake the Source of Data
    An adversary provides data under a falsified identity. The purpose of using the falsified identity may be to prevent traceability of the provided data or it might be an attempt by the adversary to assume the rights granted to another identity. One of the simplest forms of this attack would be the creation of an email message with a modified "From" field in order to appear that the message was sent from someone other than the actual sender. Results of the attack vary depending on the details of the attack, but common results include privilege escalation, obfuscation of other attacks, and data corruption/manipulation.

    descriptionThe version of Opera installed on the remote host is earlier than 8.01 and thus reportedly affected by multiple issues : - It may be possible for a malicious website to spoof dialog boxes. - It may be possible for a XMLHttpRequest object to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data. - The installed version is affected by multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. - When using the GET form, file path information could be disclosed.

    descriptionA Secunia Advisory reports : Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Opera, which can be exploited by malicious people to steal content or to perform actions on other websites with the privileges of the user. Normally, it should not be possible for the XMLHttpRequest object to access resources from outside the domain of which the object was opened. However, due to insufficient validation of server side redirects, it is possible to circumvent this restriction.
