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.

    descriptionIBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5 prior to Fix Pack 8.5.5.2 appears to be running on the remote host and is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities : - Numerous errors exist related to the included IBM SDK for Java (based on the Oracle JDK) that could allow denial of service attacks and information disclosure. (CVE-2013-5372, CVE-2013-5780, CVE-2013-5803) - User input validation errors exist related to the Administrative console and the Oauth component that could allow cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2013-6725 / PM98132, CVE-2013-6323 / PI04777, CVE-2013-6738 / PI05661) - An error exists due to a failure to properly handle by web services endpoint requests that could allow denial of service attacks. (CVE-2013-6325 / PM99450, PI08267) - An error exists in the included IBM Global Security Kit related to SSL handling that could allow denial of service attacks. (CVE-2013-6329 / PI05309) - A flaw exists with the

    denial of service attacks and information disclosure.
    (CVE-2013-5372, CVE-2013-5780, CVE-2013-5803)

  - User input validation errors exist related to the

    CVE-2013-6738 / PI05661)

  - An error exists due to a failure to properly
    handle by web services endpoint requests that
    could allow denial of service attacks.
    (CVE-2013-6325 / PM99450, PI08267)

  - An error exists in the included IBM Global Security
    Kit related to SSL handling that could allow denial
    of service attacks. (CVE-2013-6329 / PI05309)

  - A flaw exists with the 'mod_dav' module that is caused
    when tracking the length of CDATA that has leading
    white space. A remote attacker with a specially crafted
    DAV WRITE request can cause the service to stop
    responding. (CVE-2013-6438 / PI09345)

  - An error exists in the included IBM Global Security
    Kit related to malformed X.509 certificate chain
    handling that could allow denial of service attacks.
    (CVE-2013-6747 / PI09443)

  - An error exists in the included Apache Tomcat version
    related to handling 'Content-Type' HTTP headers and
    multipart requests such as file uploads that could
    allow denial of service attacks. (CVE-2014-0050 /
    PI12648, PI12926)

  - An unspecified error exists that could allow file
    disclosures to remote unauthenticated attackers.
    (CVE-2014-0823 / PI05324)

  - An unspecified error exists related to the
    Administrative console that could allow a security
    bypass. (CVE-2014-0857 / PI07808)

  - An error exists related to a web server plugin and
    retrying failed POST requests that could allow denial
    of service attacks. (CVE-2014-0859 / PI08892)

  - An error exists related to the Proxy and ODR components
    that could allow information disclosure. (CVE-2014-0891
    / PI09786)

  - An unspecified error exists related to the 'Liberty
    Profile' that could allow information disclosure.
