Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Subverting Environment Variable Values The attacker directly or indirectly modifies environment variables used by or controlling the target software. The attacker's goal is to cause the target software to deviate from its expected operation in a manner that benefits the attacker.
- Footprinting An attacker engages in probing and exploration activity to identify constituents and properties of the target. Footprinting is a general term to describe a variety of information gathering techniques, often used by attackers in preparation for some attack. It consists of using tools to learn as much as possible about the composition, configuration, and security mechanisms of the targeted application, system or network. Information that might be collected during a footprinting effort could include open ports, applications and their versions, network topology, and similar information. While footprinting is not intended to be damaging (although certain activities, such as network scans, can sometimes cause disruptions to vulnerable applications inadvertently) it may often pave the way for more damaging attacks.
- Exploiting Trust in Client (aka Make the Client Invisible) An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client. An attacker executes this type of attack by placing themselves in the communication channel between client and server such that communication directly to the server is possible where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client. There are numerous variations of this type of attack.
- Browser Fingerprinting An attacker carefully crafts small snippets of Java Script to efficiently detect the type of browser the potential victim is using. Many web-based attacks need prior knowledge of the web browser including the version of browser to ensure successful exploitation of a vulnerability. Having this knowledge allows an attacker to target the victim with attacks that specifically exploit known or zero day weaknesses in the type and version of the browser used by the victim. Automating this process via Java Script as a part of the same delivery system used to exploit the browser is considered more efficient as the attacker can supply a browser fingerprinting method and integrate it with exploit code, all contained in Java Script and in response to the same web page request by the browser.
- Session Credential Falsification through Prediction This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.

A pattern in Drupal's text matching was found to be inefficient with certain specially crafted strings. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that users must have the ability to post content sent to the filter system such as a role with the post comments or Forum topic: Create new content permission (CVE-2012-1588). Drupal core's Form API allows users to set a destination, but failed to validate that the URL was internal to the site. This weakness could be abused to redirect the login to a remote site with a malicious script that harvests the login credentials and redirects to the live site. This vulnerability is mitigated only by the end user's ability to recognize a URL with malicious query parameters to avoid the social engineering required to exploit the problem (CVE-2012-1589). Drupal core's forum lists fail to check user access to nodes when displaying them in the forum overview page. If an unpublished node was the most recently updated in a forum then users who should not have access to unpublished forum posts were still be able to see meta-data about the forum post such as the post title (CVE-2012-1590). Drupal core provides the ability to have private files, including images, and Image Styles which create derivative images from an original image that may differ, for example, in size or saturation. Drupal core failed to properly terminate the page request for cached image styles allowing users to access image derivatives for images they should not be able to view. Furthermore, Drupal didn't set the right headers to prevent image styles from being cached in the browser (CVE-2012-1591). Drupal core provides the ability to list nodes on a site at admin/content. Drupal core failed to confirm a user viewing that page had access to each node in the list. This vulnerability only concerns sites running a contributed node access module and is mitigated by the fact that users must have a role with the Access the content overview page permission. Unpublished nodes were not displayed to users who only had the Access the content overview page permission (CVE-2012-2153). The request_path function in includes/bootstrap.inc in Drupal 7.14 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via the q[] parameter to index.php, which reveals the installation path in an error message (CVE-2012-2922). A bug in the installer code was identified that allows an attacker to re-install Drupal using an external database server under certain transient conditions. This could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code on the original server (Drupal SA-CORE-2012-003). For sites using the core OpenID module, an information disclosure vulnerability was identified that allows an attacker to read files on the local filesystem by attempting to log in to the site using a malicious OpenID server (Drupal SA-CORE-2012-003). A vulnerability was identified that allows blocked users to appear in user search results, even when the search results are viewed by unprivileged users (CVE-2012-5651). Drupal core's file upload feature blocks the upload of many files that can be executed on the server by munging the filename. A malicious user could name a file in a manner that bypasses this munging of the filename in Drupal's input validation (CVE-2012-5653). Multiple vulnerabilities were fixed in the supported Drupal core version 7 (DRUPAL-SA-CORE-2013-001). A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability (XSS) was identified in certain Drupal JavaScript functions that pass unexpected user input into jQuery causing it to insert HTML into the page when the intended behavior is to select DOM elements. Multiple core and contributed modules are affected by this issue. A vulnerability was identified that exposes the title or, in some cases, the content of nodes that the user should not have access to. Drupal core provides the ability to have private files, including images. A vulnerability was identified in which derivative images (which Drupal automatically creates from these images based on image styles and which may differ, for example, in size or saturation) did not always receive the same protection. Under some circumstances, this would allow users to access image derivatives for images they should not be able to view. The drupal package was updated to latest version 7.19 to fix above vulnerabilities." ); script_set_attribute(attribute:"solution", value:"Update the affected packages."); script_set_cvss_base_vector("CVSS2#AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P"); script_set_cvss_temporal_vector("CVSS2#E:U/RL:OF/RC:C"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"exploitability_ease", value:"No known exploits are available"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"exploit_available", value:"false"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"plugin_type", value:"local"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"p-cpe:/a:mandriva:linux:drupal"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"p-cpe:/a:mandriva:linux:drupal-mysql"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"p-cpe:/a:mandriva:linux:drupal-postgresql"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"p-cpe:/a:mandriva:linux:drupal-sqlite"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"cpe:/o:mandriva:business_server:1"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"patch_publication_date", value:"2013/04/08"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"plugin_publication_date", value:"2013/04/20"); script_end_attributes(); script_category(ACT_GATHER_INFO); script_copyright(english:"This script is Copyright (C) 2013-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc."); script_family(english:"Mandriva Local Security Checks"); script_dependencies("ssh_get_info.nasl"); script_require_keys("Host/local_checks_enabled", "Host/cpu", "Host/Mandrake/release", "Host/Mandrake/rpm-list"); exit(0); } include("audit.inc"); include("global_settings.inc"); include("rpm.inc"); if (!get_kb_item("Host/local_checks_enabled")) audit(AUDIT_LOCAL_CHECKS_NOT_ENABLED); if (!get_kb_item("Host/Mandrake/release")) audit(AUDIT_OS_NOT, "Mandriva / Mandake Linux"); if (!get_kb_item("Host/Mandrake/rpm-list")) audit(AUDIT_PACKAGE_LIST_MISSING); cpu = get_kb_item("Host/cpu"); if (isnull(cpu)) audit(AUDIT_UNKNOWN_ARCH); if (cpu !~ "^(amd64|i[3-6]86|x86_64)$") audit(AUDIT_LOCAL_CHECKS_NOT_IMPLEMENTED, "Mandriva / Mandrake Linux", cpu); flag = 0; if (rpm_check(release:"MDK-MBS1", reference:"drupal-7.19-1.mbs1")) flag++; if (rpm_check(release:"MDK-MBS1", reference:"drupal-mysql-7.19-1.mbs1")) flag++; if (rpm_check(release:"MDK-MBS1", reference:"drupal-postgresql-7.19-1.mbs1")) flag++; if (rpm_check(release:"MDK-MBS1", reference:"drupal-sqlite-7.19-1.mbs1")) flag++; if (flag) { if (report_verbosity > 0) security_warning(port:0, extra:rpm_report_get()); else security_warning(0); exit(0); } else audit(AUDIT_HOST_NOT, "affected");
