Summary

python_scripts.py in Plone before 4.2.3 and 4.3 before beta 1 allows remote attackers to execute Python code via a crafted URL, related to createObject.

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.

    Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate
    security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
    scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each
    vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.
    
    The Conga project is a management system for remote workstations. It
    consists of luci, which is a secure web-based front end, and ricci,
    which is a secure daemon that dispatches incoming messages to
    underlying management modules.
    
    It was discovered that Plone, included as a part of luci, did not
    properly protect the administrator interface (control panel). A remote
    attacker could use this flaw to inject a specially crafted Python
    statement or script into Plone's restricted Python sandbox that, when
    the administrator interface was accessed, would be executed with the
    privileges of that administrator user. (CVE-2012-5485)
    
    It was discovered that Plone, included as a part of luci, did not
    properly sanitize HTTP headers provided within certain URL requests. A
    remote attacker could use a specially crafted URL that, when
    processed, would cause the injected HTTP headers to be returned as a
    part of the Plone HTTP response, potentially allowing the attacker to
    perform other more advanced attacks. (CVE-2012-5486)
    
    Multiple information leak flaws were found in the way conga processed
    luci site extension-related URL requests. A remote, unauthenticated
    attacker could issue a specially crafted HTTP request that, when
    processed, would result in unauthorized information disclosure.
    (CVE-2013-6496)
    
    It was discovered that various components in the luci site
    extension-related URLs were not properly restricted to administrative
    users. A remote, authenticated attacker could escalate their
    privileges to perform certain actions that should be restricted to
    administrative users, such as adding users and systems, and viewing
    log data. (CVE-2014-3521)
    
    It was discovered that Plone, included as a part of luci, did not
    properly protect the privilege of running RestrictedPython scripts. A
    remote attacker could use a specially crafted URL that, when
    processed, would allow the attacker to submit and perform expensive
    computations or, in conjunction with other attacks, be able to access
    or alter privileged information. (CVE-2012-5488)
    
    It was discovered that Plone, included as a part of luci, did not
    properly enforce permissions checks on the membership database. A
    remote attacker could use a specially crafted URL that, when
    processed, could allow the attacker to enumerate user account names.
    (CVE-2012-5497)
    
    It was discovered that Plone, included as a part of luci, did not
    properly handle the processing of requests for certain collections. A
    remote attacker could use a specially crafted URL that, when
    processed, would lead to excessive I/O and/or cache resource
    consumption. (CVE-2012-5498)
    
    It was discovered that Plone, included as a part of luci, did not
    properly handle the processing of very large values passed to an
    internal utility function. A remote attacker could use a specially
    crafted URL that, when processed, would lead to excessive memory
    consumption. (CVE-2012-5499)
    
    It was discovered that Plone, included as a part of luci, allowed a
    remote anonymous user to change titles of content items due to
    improper permissions checks. (CVE-2012-5500)
    
    The CVE-2014-3521 issue was discovered by Radek Steiger of Red Hat,
    and the CVE-2013-6496 issue was discovered by Jan Pokorny of Red Hat.

    "From Red Hat Security Advisory 2014:1194 :
    
    Updated conga packages that fix multiple security issues and several
    bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
    
    Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate
    security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
    scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each
    vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.
    
    The Conga project is a management system for remote workstations. It
    consists of luci, which is a secure web-based front end, and ricci,
    which is a secure daemon that dispatches incoming messages to
    underlying management modules.
    
    It was discovered that Plone, included as a part of luci, did not
    properly protect the administrator interface (control panel). A remote
    attacker could use this flaw to inject a specially crafted Python
    statement or script into Plone's restricted Python sandbox that, when
    the administrator interface was accessed, would be executed with the
    privileges of that administrator user. (CVE-2012-5485)
    
    It was discovered that Plone, included as a part of luci, did not
    properly sanitize HTTP headers provided within certain URL requests. A
    remote attacker could use a specially crafted URL that, when
    processed, would cause the injected HTTP headers to be returned as a
    part of the Plone HTTP response, potentially allowing the attacker to
    perform other more advanced attacks. (CVE-2012-5486)
    
    Multiple information leak flaws were found in the way conga processed
    luci site extension-related URL requests. A remote, unauthenticated
    attacker could issue a specially crafted HTTP request that, when
    processed, would result in unauthorized information disclosure.
    (CVE-2013-6496)
    
    It was discovered that various components in the luci site
    extension-related URLs were not properly restricted to administrative
    users. A remote, authenticated attacker could escalate their
    privileges to perform certain actions that should be restricted to
    administrative users, such as adding users and systems, and viewing
    log data. (CVE-2014-3521)
    
    It was discovered that Plone, included as a part of luci, did not
    properly protect the privilege of running RestrictedPython scripts. A
    remote attacker could use a specially crafted URL that, when
    processed, would allow the attacker to submit and perform expensive
    computations or, in conjunction with other attacks, be able to access
    or alter privileged information. (CVE-2012-5488)
    
    It was discovered that Plone, included as a part of luci, did not
    properly enforce permissions checks on the membership database. A
    remote attacker could use a specially crafted URL that, when
    processed, could allow the attacker to enumerate user account names.
    (CVE-2012-5497)
    
    It was discovered that Plone, included as a part of luci, did not
    properly handle the processing of requests for certain collections. A
    remote attacker could use a specially crafted URL that, when
    processed, would lead to excessive I/O and/or cache resource
    consumption. (CVE-2012-5498)
    
    It was discovered that Plone, included as a part of luci, did not
    properly handle the processing of very large values passed to an
    internal utility function. A remote attacker could use a specially
    crafted URL that, when processed, would lead to excessive memory
    consumption. (CVE-2012-5499)
    
    It was discovered that Plone, included as a part of luci, allowed a
    remote anonymous user to change titles of content items due to
    improper permissions checks. (CVE-2012-5500)
    
    The CVE-2014-3521 issue was discovered by Radek Steiger of Red Hat,
    and the CVE-2013-6496 issue was discovered by Jan Pokorny of Red Hat.
    
    In addition, these updated conga packages include several bug fixes.
    Space precludes documenting all of these changes in this advisory.
    Users are directed to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.11 Technical
    Notes, linked to in the References section, for information on the
