PARTIAL Summary
The WS-Security implementation in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 6.1 before 6.1.0.47, 7.0 before 7.0.0.31, 8.0 before 8.0.0.8, and 8.5 before 8.5.5.1, and WAS Feature Pack for Web Services 6.1 before 6.1.0.47, when a trust store is configured for XML Digital Signatures, does not properly verify X.509 certificates, which allows remote attackers to obtain privileged access via unspecified vectors.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
- Server Side Include (SSI) Injection An attacker can use Server Side Include (SSI) Injection to send code to a web application that then gets executed by the web server. Doing so enables the attacker to achieve similar results to Cross Site Scripting, viz., arbitrary code execution and information disclosure, albeit on a more limited scale, since the SSI directives are nowhere near as powerful as a full-fledged scripting language. Nonetheless, the attacker can conveniently gain access to sensitive files, such as password files, and execute shell commands.
- Cross Zone Scripting An attacker is able to cause a victim to load content into their web-browser that bypasses security zone controls and gain access to increased privileges to execute scripting code or other web objects such as unsigned ActiveX controls or applets. This is a privilege elevation attack targeted at zone-based web-browser security. In a zone-based model, pages belong to one of a set of zones corresponding to the level of privilege assigned to that page. Pages in an untrusted zone would have a lesser level of access to the system and/or be restricted in the types of executable content it was allowed to invoke. In a cross-zone scripting attack, a page that should be assigned to a less privileged zone is granted the privileges of a more trusted zone. This can be accomplished by exploiting bugs in the browser, exploiting incorrect configuration in the zone controls, through a cross-site scripting attack that causes the attackers' content to be treated as coming from a more trusted page, or by leveraging some piece of system functionality that is accessible from both the trusted and less trusted zone. This attack differs from "Restful Privilege Escalation" in that the latter correlates to the inadequate securing of RESTful access methods (such as HTTP DELETE) on the server, while cross-zone scripting attacks the concept of security zones as implemented by a browser.
- 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.
- Command Line Execution through SQL Injection An attacker uses standard SQL injection methods to inject data into the command line for execution. This could be done directly through misuse of directives such as MSSQL_xp_cmdshell or indirectly through injection of data into the database that would be interpreted as shell commands. Sometime later, an unscrupulous backend application (or could be part of the functionality of the same application) fetches the injected data stored in the database and uses this data as command line arguments without performing proper validation. The malicious data escapes that data plane by spawning new commands to be executed on the host.

NASL family Web Servers NASL id WEBSPHERE_6_1_0_47.NASL description 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.
