Summary

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 on Windows XP and Vista allows remote attackers to conduct phishing attacks and possibly execute arbitrary code via a res: URI to navcancl.htm with an arbitrary URL as an argument, which displays the URL in the location bar of the "Navigation Canceled" page and injects the script into the "Refresh the page" link, aka Navigation Cancel Page Spoofing Vulnerability."

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Cross Site Scripting through Log Files
    An attacker may leverage a system weakness where logs are susceptible to log injection to insert scripts into the system's logs. If these logs are later viewed by an administrator through a thin administrative interface and the log data is not properly HTML encoded before being written to the page, the attackers' scripts stored in the log will be executed in the administrative interface with potentially serious consequences. This attack pattern is really a combination of two other attack patterns: log injection and stored cross site scripting.
  • Embedding Scripts in Non-Script Elements
    This attack is a form of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) where malicious scripts are embedded in elements that are not expected to host scripts such as image tags (<img>), comments in XML documents (< !-CDATA->), etc. These tags may not be subject to the same input validation, output validation, and other content filtering and checking routines, so this can create an opportunity for an attacker to tunnel through the application's elements and launch a XSS attack through other elements. As with all remote attacks, it is important to differentiate the ability to launch an attack (such as probing an internal network for unpatched servers) and the ability of the remote attacker to collect and interpret the output of said attack.
  • Embedding Scripts within Scripts
    An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities that are brought on by allowing remote hosts to execute scripts. The attacker leverages this capability to execute scripts to execute his/her own script by embedding it within other scripts that the target software is likely to execute. The attacker must have the ability to inject script into script that is likely to be executed. If this is done, then the attacker can potentially launch a variety of probes and attacks against the web server's local environment, in many cases the so-called DMZ, back end resources the web server can communicate with, and other hosts. With the proliferation of intermediaries, such as Web App Firewalls, network devices, and even printers having JVMs and Web servers, there are many locales where an attacker can inject malicious scripts. Since this attack pattern defines scripts within scripts, there are likely privileges to execute said attack on the host. Of course, these attacks are not solely limited to the server side, client side scripts like Ajax and client side JavaScript can contain malicious scripts as well. In general all that is required is for there to be sufficient privileges to execute a script, but not protected against writing.
  • Cross-Site Scripting in Error Pages
    An attacker distributes a link (or possibly some other query structure) with a request to a third party web server that is malformed and also contains a block of exploit code in order to have the exploit become live code in the resulting error page. When the third party web server receives the crafted request and notes the error it then creates an error message that echoes the malformed message, including the exploit. Doing this converts the exploit portion of the message into to valid language elements that are executed by the viewing browser. When a victim executes the query provided by the attacker the infected error message error message is returned including the exploit code which then runs in the victim's browser. XSS can result in execution of code as well as data leakage (e.g. session cookies can be sent to the attacker). This type of attack is especially dangerous since the exploit appears to come from the third party web server, who the victim may trust and hence be more vulnerable to deception.
  • Cross-Site Scripting Using Alternate Syntax
    The attacker uses alternate forms of keywords or commands that result in the same action as the primary form but which may not be caught by filters. For example, many keywords are processed in a case insensitive manner. If the site's web filtering algorithm does not convert all tags into a consistent case before the comparison with forbidden keywords it is possible to bypass filters (e.g., incomplete black lists) by using an alternate case structure. For example, the "script" tag using the alternate forms of "Script" or "ScRiPt" may bypass filters where "script" is the only form tested. Other variants using different syntax representations are also possible as well as using pollution meta-characters or entities that are eventually ignored by the rendering engine. The attack can result in the execution of otherwise prohibited functionality.

descriptionBUGTRAQ ID: 22966 CVE(CAN) ID: CVE-2007-1499 Internet Explorer是微软发布的非常流行的WEB浏览器。 IE在处理页面导航的操作上存在漏洞，远程攻击者可能利用此漏洞实现跨站脚本执行。 如果由于某种原因取消了到特定页面的导航的话，IE 7浏览器会使用navcancl.htm本地资源，在取消导航时特定页面的URL在“#”符号后提供给了navcancl.htm，如res://ieframe.dll/navcancl.htm#http://www.site.com 。然后navcancl.htm页面会在“刷新页面”链接中生成脚本，以便在用户点击这个链接时重新载入所提供的站点。 由于攻击者可以在所提供的链接中注入脚本，如果用户点击了“刷新页面”便会执行该脚本，因此现在IE在Internet区中运行大多数本地资源，包括navcancl.htm，因此这个漏洞不会导致代码执行。但IE 7会自动删除本地资源的URL路径，仅保留所提供的URL，例如，如果用户访问了res://ieframe.dll/navcancl.htm#http://www.site.com 的话，IE 7会在地址栏中显示http://www.site.com ，这可能允许攻击者在导航取消页中显示欺骗内容。 例如，如果要执行钓鱼攻击，攻击者可以创建显示伪造可信任站点内容的navcancl.htm本地资源链接，如果用户打开了该链接，就会显示“导航取消”页面。这时用户会认为站点或网络出现了错误，然后试图刷新页面。一旦用户点击了“刷新页面”链接，就会显示攻击者所提供的内容，如伪造的登录页面。由于这时地址栏仍显示可信任站点的URL，用户会认为自己仍处在可信任的站点中。 Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 临时解决方法： * 将Internet Explorer配置为在Internet和本地Intranet安全区域中运行ActiveX控件之前进行提示。 厂商补丁： Microsoft --------- Microsoft已经为此发布了一个安全公告（MS07-033）以及相应补丁: MS07-033：Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (933566) 链接：<a href=http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/ms07-033.mspx?pf=true target=_blank>http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/ms07-033.mspx?pf=true</a>
