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.

"IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1 before Fix Pack 47 appears to be
running on the remote host.  As such, it is potentially affected by the
following vulnerabilities :

  - A remote attacker can bypass authentication because of
    improper user validation on Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX
    platforms that use a LocalOS registry.
    (CVE-2013-0543, PM75582)

  - A denial of service can be caused by the way Apache
    Ant uses bzip2 to compress files. This can be exploited
    by a local attacker passing specially crafted input.
    (CVE-2012-2098, PM90088)

  - A local attacker can cause a denial of service on
    Windows platforms with a LocalOS registry using
    WebSphere Identity Manager. (CVE-2013-0541, PM74909)

  - Remote attackers can traverse directories by deploying
    a specially crafted application file to overwrite files
    outside of the application deployment directory.
    (CVE-2012-3305, PM62467)

  - The TLS protocol implementation is susceptible to
    plaintext-recovery attacks via statistical analysis of
    timing data for crafted packets. (CVE-2013-0169,
    PM85211)

  - Terminal escape sequences are not properly filtered from
    logs. Remote attackers could execute arbitrary commands
    via an HTTP request containing an escape sequence.
    (CVE-2013-1862, PM87808)

  - Improper validation of user input allows for cross-site
    request forgery. By persuading an authenticated user
    to visit a malicious website, a remote attacker could
    exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive
    information. (CVE-2012-4853, CVE-2013-3029, PM62920,
    PM88746)

  - Improper validation of user input in the administrative
    console allows for multiple cross-site scripting
    attacks. (CVE-2013-0458, CVE-2013-0459, CVE-2013-0461,
    CVE-2013-0542, CVE-2013-0596, CVE-2013-2967,
    CVE-2013-4005, CVE-2013-4052, PM71139, PM72536, PM71389,
    PM73445, PM78614, PM81846, PM88208, PM91892)

  - Improper validation of portlets in the administrative
    console allows for cross-site request forgery, which
    could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information.
    (CVE-2013-0460, PM72275)

  - Remote, authenticated attackers can traverse directories
    on Linux and UNIX systems running the application.
    (CVE-2013-0544, PM82468)

  - A denial of service attack is possible if the optional
    mod_dav module is being used. (CVE-2013-1896, PM89996)

  - Sensitive information can be obtained by a local
    attacker because of incorrect caching by the
    administrative console. (CVE-2013-2976, PM79992)

  - An attacker may gain elevated privileges because of
    improper certificate checks. WS-Security and XML Digital
    Signatures must be enabled. (CVE-2013-4053, PM90949,
    PM91521)

  - Deserialization of a maliciously crafted OpenJPA object
    can result in an executable file being written to the
    file system. WebSphere is NOT vulnerable to this issue
    but the vendor suggests upgrading to be proactive.
    (CVE-2013-1768, PM86780, PM86786, PM86788, PM86791)");
