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.

With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing server output during a crafted server request, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data, within the same domain. This issue affected Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 LTS. (CVE-2008-0780) Fernando Quintero discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize its input when attaching files, resulting in cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. This issue affected Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, 7.10 and 8.04 LTS. (CVE-2008-0781) It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize its input when processing user forms. A remote attacker could submit crafted cookie values and overwrite arbitrary files via directory traversal. This issue affected Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, 7.10 and 8.04 LTS. (CVE-2008-0782) It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize its input when editing pages, resulting in cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. This issue only affected Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and 7.10. (CVE-2008-1098) It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly enforce access controls, which could allow a remoter attacker to view private pages. This issue only affected Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and 7.10. (CVE-2008-1099) It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize its input when attaching files and using the rename parameter, resulting in cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. (CVE-2009-0260) It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize its input when displaying error messages after processing spam, resulting in cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. (CVE-2009-0312). Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

its input when processing login requests, resulting in cross-site
scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. With cross-site scripting
vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing server output
during a crafted server request, a remote attacker could exploit this
to modify the contents, or steal confidential data, within the same
domain. This issue affected Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 LTS. (CVE-2008-0780)

Fernando Quintero discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize
its input when attaching files, resulting in cross-site scripting
vulnerabilities. This issue affected Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, 7.10 and 8.04
LTS. (CVE-2008-0781)

It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize its input
when processing user forms. A remote attacker could submit crafted
cookie values and overwrite arbitrary files via directory traversal.
This issue affected Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, 7.10 and 8.04 LTS.
(CVE-2008-0782)

It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize its input
when editing pages, resulting in cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and 7.10. (CVE-2008-1098)

It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly enforce access
controls, which could allow a remoter attacker to view private pages.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and 7.10. (CVE-2008-1099)

It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize its input
when attaching files and using the rename parameter, resulting in
cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. (CVE-2009-0260)

It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize its input
when displaying error messages after processing spam, resulting in
cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. (CVE-2009-0312).

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200803-27 (MoinMoin: Multiple vulnerabilities) Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered: A vulnerability exists in the file wikimacro.py because the _macro_Getval function does not properly enforce ACLs (CVE-2008-1099). A directory traversal vulnerability exists in the userform action (CVE-2008-0782). A Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability exists in the login action (CVE-2008-0780). Multiple Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities exist in the file action/AttachFile.py when using the message, pagename, and target filenames (CVE-2008-0781). Multiple Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities exist in formatter/text_gedit.py (aka the gui editor formatter) which can be exploited via a page name or destination page name, which trigger an injection in the file PageEditor.py (CVE-2008-1098). Impact : These vulnerabilities can be exploited to allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML, overwrite arbitrary files, or read protected pages. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
