Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

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.

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201412-28 (Ruby on Rails: Multiple vulnerabilities) Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Ruby on Rails. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details. Impact : A remote attacker could execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary SQL commands, change parameter names for form inputs and make changes to arbitrary records in the system, bypass intended access restrictions, render arbitrary views, inject arbitrary web script or HTML, or conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.

    descriptionSeveral vulnerabilities have been discovered in Rails, the Ruby web application framework. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2009-4214 A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability had been found in the strip_tags function. An attacker may inject non-printable characters that certain browsers will then evaluate. This vulnerability only affects the oldstable distribution (lenny). - CVE-2011-2930 A SQL injection vulnerability had been found in the quote_table_name method that could allow malicious users to inject arbitrary SQL into a query. - CVE-2011-2931 A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability had been found in the strip_tags helper. An parsing error can be exploited by an attacker, who can confuse the parser and may inject HTML tags into the output document. - CVE-2011-3186 A newline (CRLF) injection vulnerability had been found in response.rb. This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks via the Content-Type header.

  - CVE-2009-4214
    A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability had been
    found in the strip_tags function. An attacker may inject
    non-printable characters that certain browsers will then
    evaluate. This vulnerability only affects the oldstable
    distribution (lenny).

  - CVE-2011-2930
    A SQL injection vulnerability had been found in the
    quote_table_name method that could allow malicious users
    to inject arbitrary SQL into a query.

  - CVE-2011-2931
    A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability had been
    found in the strip_tags helper. An parsing error can be
    exploited by an attacker, who can confuse the parser and
    may inject HTML tags into the output document.

  - CVE-2011-3186
    A newline (CRLF) injection vulnerability had been found
    in response.rb. This vulnerability allows an attacker to
