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.

  - Escape sequences are not properly sanitized when passed
    to the 'Sanitizer::checkCss' class, which allows a
    remote attacker to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
    (CVE-2013-6451)

  - An input validation error exists in the
    'XmlTypeCheck.php' script in uploaded SVG files that
    contain external style sheets, which allows a remote
    attacker to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
    (CVE-2013-6452)

  - Input validation by the checkSvgScriptCallback()
    function is bypassed in the 'UploadBase.php' script
    when an SVG file with invalid XML is uploaded. This
    can result in malicious code execution. (CVE-2013-6453)

  - An input validation error exists in the 'Sanitizer.php'
    script when input is submitted to the '-o-link'
    attribute, which allows cross-site scripting attacks in
    Opera 12. (CVE-2013-6454)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the
    log API, Enhanced Recent Changes feature, and users'
    watchlists that allows deleted log entries to be viewed.
    (CVE-2013-6472)

Additionally, the following extensions contain vulnerabilities but
are not enabled or installed by default (unless otherwise noted) :

  - The TimedMediaHandler extension is affected by a
    cross-site scripting vulnerability due to the lack of
    input validation of the 'data-videopayload' attribute
    in the 'mw.PopUpThumbVideo.js' script. (CVE-2013-4574)

  - The Scribuntu extension is affected by a NULL pointer
    dereference and buffer overflow flaw in the
    implementation of the 'luasandbox' PHP extension that
    can lead to a denial of service or arbitrary code
    execution. (CVE-2013-4570, CVE-2013-4571)

  - The CentralAuth extension is affected by an information
    disclosure vulnerability due to the insertion of a
    username into the page's DOM. (CVE-2013-6455)

  - The Semantic Forms extension is affected by a cross-site
    request forgery (XSRF) vulnerability due to the lack of
    token validation in the 'Special:CreateCategory' page.
    (CVE-2014-3454)

MediaWiki user Michael M reported that the fix for CVE-2013-4568
allowed insertion of escaped CSS values which could pass the CSS
validation checks, resulting in XSS (CVE-2013-6451).

Chris from RationalWiki reported that SVG files could be uploaded that
include external stylesheets, which could lead to XSS when an XSL was
used to include JavaScript (CVE-2013-6452).

During internal review, it was discovered that MediaWiki's SVG
sanitization could be bypassed when the XML was considered invalid
(CVE-2013-6453).

During internal review, it was discovered that MediaWiki displayed
some information about deleted pages in the log API, enhanced
RecentChanges, and user watchlists (CVE-2013-6472).

Netanel Rubin from Check Point discovered a remote code execution
vulnerability in MediaWiki's thumbnail generation for DjVu files.
Internal review also discovered similar logic in the PdfHandler
extension, which could be exploited in a similar way (CVE-2014-1610).

MediaWiki before 1.22.3 does not block unsafe namespaces, such as a
W3C XHTML namespace, in uploaded SVG files. Some client software may
use these namespaces in a way that results in XSS. This was fixed by
disallowing uploading SVG files using non-whitelisted namespaces
(CVE-2014-2242).

MediaWiki before 1.22.3 performs token comparison that may be
vulnerable to timing attacks. This was fixed by making token
comparison use constant time (CVE-2014-2243).

MediaWiki before 1.22.3 could allow an attacker to perform XSS
attacks, due to flaw with link handling in api.php. This was fixed
such that it won't find links in the middle of api.php links
(CVE-2014-2244).

MediaWiki has been updated to version 1.22.3, which fixes these
issues, as well as several others.

Also, the mediawiki-ldapauthentication and mediawiki-math extensions
have been updated to newer versions that are compatible with MediaWiki
1.22.

Additionally, the mediawiki-graphviz extension has been obsoleted, due
to the fact that it is unmaintained upstream and is vulnerable to
cross-site scripting attacks.

Note: if you were using the instances feature in these packages to
support multiple wiki instances, this feature has now been removed.
You will need to maintain separate wiki instances manually."

"The remote Debian host is missing a security update. It is, therefore,
affected by multiple vulnerabilities in MediaWiki :

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists due to
    a failure to validate input before returning it to the
    user. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit
    this, via specially crafted SVG files, to execute
    arbitrary script code in the user's browser session.
    (CVE-2013-2031)

  - A flaw exists in the password blocking mechanism due to
    two different tools being used to block password change
    requests, these being Special:PasswordReset and
    Special:ChangePassword, either of which may be bypassed
    by the method the other prevents. A remote attacker can
    exploit this issue to change passwords. (CVE-2013-2032)

  - Multiple flaws exist in Sanitizer::checkCss due to the
    improper sanitization of user-supplied input. An
    unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these to
    bypass the blacklist. (CVE-2013-4567, CVE-2013-4568)

  - A flaw exists due to multiple users being granted the
    same session ID within HTTP headers. A remote attacker
    can exploit this to authenticate as another random
    user. (CVE-2013-4572)

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the
    /includes/libs/XmlTypeCheck.php script due to improper
    validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated,
    remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially
    crafted XSL file, to execute arbitrary script code in
    the user's browser session. (CVE-2013-6452)

  - A flaw exists in the /includes/upload/UploadBase.php
    script due to a failure to apply SVG sanitization when
    XML files are read as invalid. An unauthenticated,
    remote attacker can exploit this to upload non-sanitized
    XML files, resulting in an unspecified impact.
    (CVE-2013-6453)

  - A stored cross-site (XSS) scripting vulnerability exists
    in the /includes/Sanitizer.php script due to a failure
    to properly validate the '-o-link' attribute before
    returning it to users. An unauthenticated, remote
    attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted
    request, to execute arbitrary script code in the user's
    browser session. (CVE-2013-6454)

  - A flaw exists in the log API within the
    /includes/api/ApiQueryLogEvents.php script that allows
    an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose
    potentially sensitive information regarding deleted
    pages. (CVE-2013-6472)

  - Multiple flaws exist in the PdfHandler_body.php,
    DjVu.php, Bitmap.php, and ImageHandler.php scripts when
    DjVu or PDF file upload support is enabled due to
    improper sanitization of user-supplied input. An
    authenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, via
    the use of shell metacharacters, to execute execute
    arbitrary shell commands. (CVE-2014-1610)

  - A cross-site request forgery (XSRF) vulnerability exists
    in the includes/specials/SpecialChangePassword.php
    script due to a failure to properly handle a correctly
    authenticated but unintended login attempt. An
    unauthenticated, remote attacker, by convincing a user
    to follow a specially crafted link, can exploit this to
    reset the user's password. (CVE-2014-2665)");
