Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Leverage Executable Code in Non-Executable Files
    An attack of this type exploits a system's trust in configuration and resource files, when the executable loads the resource (such as an image file or configuration file) the attacker has modified the file to either execute malicious code directly or manipulate the target process (e.g. application server) to execute based on the malicious configuration parameters. Since systems are increasingly interrelated mashing up resources from local and remote sources the possibility of this attack occurring is high. The attack can be directed at a client system, such as causing buffer overrun through loading seemingly benign image files, as in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-028 where specially crafted JPEG files could cause a buffer overrun once loaded into the browser. Another example targets clients reading pdf files. In this case the attacker simply appends javascript to the end of a legitimate url for a pdf (http://www.gnucitizen.org/blog/danger-danger-danger/) http://path/to/pdf/file.pdf#whatever_name_you_want=javascript:your_code_here The client assumes that they are reading a pdf, but the attacker has modified the resource and loaded executable javascript into the client's browser process. The attack can also target server processes. The attacker edits the resource or configuration file, for example a web.xml file used to configure security permissions for a J2EE app server, adding role name "public" grants all users with the public role the ability to use the administration functionality. The server trusts its configuration file to be correct, but when they are manipulated, the attacker gains full control.
  • Manipulating User-Controlled Variables
    This attack targets user controlled variables (DEBUG=1, PHP Globals, and So Forth). An attacker can override environment variables leveraging user-supplied, untrusted query variables directly used on the application server without any data sanitization. In extreme cases, the attacker can change variables controlling the business logic of the application. For instance, in languages like PHP, a number of poorly set default configurations may allow the user to override variables.

    Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Mantis, which can be

    attacks.
    
    Input passed to the 'filter_target' parameter in
    return_dynamic_filters.php is not properly sanitised before being
    returned to a user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML
    and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected
    site.
    
    A vulnerability is caused due to the application allowing users to
    perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any
    validity checks to verify the request. This can be exploited to e.g.
    add a new user with administrative privileges by enticing a logged-in
    administrator to visit a malicious site.
    
    Input passed to the 'value' parameter in adm_config_set.php is not
    properly sanitised before being used in an 'eval()' statement. This
    can be exploited to e.g. execute arbitrary PHP commands via a
    specially crafted request.

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200809-10 (Mantis: Multiple vulnerabilities) Antonio Parata and Francesco Ongaro reported a Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability in manage_user_create.php (CVE-2008-2276), a Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in return_dynamic_filters.php (CVE-2008-3331), and an insufficient input validation in adm_config_set.php (CVE-2008-3332). A directory traversal vulnerability in core/lang_api.php (CVE-2008-3333) has also been reported.
