Summary

The Spring OXM wrapper in Spring Framework before 3.2.4 and 4.0.0.M1, when using the JAXB marshaller, does not disable entity resolution, which allows context-dependent attackers to read arbitrary files, cause a denial of service, and conduct CSRF attacks via an XML external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference in a (1) DOMSource, (2) StAXSource, (3) SAXSource, or (4) StreamSource, aka an XML External Entity (XXE) issue.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Accessing, Modifying or Executing Executable Files
    An attack of this type exploits a system's configuration that allows an attacker to either directly access an executable file, for example through shell access; or in a possible worst case allows an attacker to upload a file and then execute it. Web servers, ftp servers, and message oriented middleware systems which have many integration points are particularly vulnerable, because both the programmers and the administrators must be in synch regarding the interfaces and the correct privileges for each interface.
  • 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.
  • Blue Boxing
    This type of attack against older telephone switches and trunks has been around for decades. A tone is sent by an adversary to impersonate a supervisor signal which has the effect of rerouting or usurping command of the line. While the US infrastructure proper may not contain widespread vulnerabilities to this type of attack, many companies are connected globally through call centers and business process outsourcing. These international systems may be operated in countries which have not upgraded Telco infrastructure and so are vulnerable to Blue boxing. Blue boxing is a result of failure on the part of the system to enforce strong authorization for administrative functions. While the infrastructure is different than standard current applications like web applications, there are historical lessons to be learned to upgrade the access control for administrative functions.
  • Restful Privilege Elevation
    Rest uses standard HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permissions methods, but these are not necessarily correlated generally with back end programs. Strict interpretation of HTTP get methods means that these HTTP Get services should not be used to delete information on the server, but there is no access control mechanism to back up this logic. This means that unless the services are properly ACL'd and the application's service implementation are following these guidelines then an HTTP request can easily execute a delete or update on the server side. The attacker identifies a HTTP Get URL such as http://victimsite/updateOrder, which calls out to a program to update orders on a database or other resource. The URL is not idempotent so the request can be submitted multiple times by the attacker, additionally, the attacker may be able to exploit the URL published as a Get method that actually performs updates (instead of merely retrieving data). This may result in malicious or inadvertent altering of data on the server.
  • Target Programs with Elevated Privileges
    This attack targets programs running with elevated privileges. The attacker would try to leverage a bug in the running program and get arbitrary code to execute with elevated privileges. For instance an attacker would look for programs that write to the system directories or registry keys (such as HKLM, which stores a number of critical Windows environment variables). These programs are typically running with elevated privileges and have usually not been designed with security in mind. Such programs are excellent exploit targets because they yield lots of power when they break. The malicious user try to execute its code at the same level as a privileged system call.

Apache ActiveMQ provides a SOA infrastructure to connect processes
across heterogeneous systems.

A flaw was found in Apache Camel's parsing of the FILE_NAME header. A
remote attacker able to submit messages to a Camel route, which would
write the provided message to a file, could provide expression
language (EL) expressions in the FILE_NAME header, which would be
evaluated on the server. This could lead to arbitrary remote code
execution in the context of the Camel server process. (CVE-2013-4330)

It was found that the Apache Camel XSLT component allowed XSL
stylesheets to call external Java methods. A remote attacker able to
submit messages to a Camel route could use this flaw to perform
arbitrary remote code execution in the context of the Camel server
process. (CVE-2014-0003)

It was discovered that the Spring OXM wrapper did not expose any
property for disabling entity resolution when using the JAXB
unmarshaller. A remote attacker could use this flaw to conduct XML
External Entity (XXE) attacks on websites, and read files in the
context of the user running the application server. The patch for this
flaw disables external entity processing by default, and provides a
configuration directive to re-enable it. (CVE-2013-4152)

The HawtJNI Library class wrote native libraries to a predictable file
name in /tmp/ when the native libraries were bundled in a JAR file,
and no custom library path was specified. A local attacker could
overwrite these native libraries with malicious versions during the
window between when HawtJNI writes them and when they are executed.

    descriptionAlvaro Munoz discovered a XML External Entity (XXE) injection in the Spring Framework which can be used for conducting CSRF and DoS attacks on other sites. The Spring OXM wrapper did not expose any property for disabling entity resolution when using the JAXB unmarshaller. There are four possible source implementations passed to the unmarshaller : - DOMSource - StAXSource - SAXSource - StreamSource For a DOMSource, the XML has already been parsed by user code and that code is responsible for protecting against XXE. For a StAXSource, the XMLStreamReader has already been created by user code and that code is responsible for protecting against XXE. For SAXSource and StreamSource instances, Spring processed external entities by default thereby creating this vulnerability. The issue was resolved by disabling external entity processing by default and adding an option to enable it for those users that need to use this feature when processing XML from a trusted source. It was also identified that Spring MVC processed user provided XML with JAXB in combination with a StAX XMLInputFactory without disabling external entity resolution. External entity resolution has been disabled in this case.

"Alvaro Munoz discovered a XML External Entity (XXE) injection in the
Spring Framework which can be used for conducting CSRF and DoS attacks
on other sites.

The Spring OXM wrapper did not expose any property for disabling
entity resolution when using the JAXB unmarshaller. There are four
possible source implementations passed to the unmarshaller :

  - DOMSource
  - StAXSource

  - SAXSource

  - StreamSource

For a DOMSource, the XML has already been parsed by user code and that
code is responsible for protecting against XXE.


For a StAXSource, the XMLStreamReader has already been created by user
code and that code is responsible for protecting against XXE.

For SAXSource and StreamSource instances, Spring processed external
entities by default thereby creating this vulnerability.

The issue was resolved by disabling external entity processing by
default and adding an option to enable it for those users that need to
use this feature when processing XML from a trusted source.

It was also identified that Spring MVC processed user provided XML
with JAXB in combination with a StAX XMLInputFactory without disabling
external entity resolution. External entity resolution has been
