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.

      - An XML injection flaw exists within 'getid3.lib.php'
        due to the parser accepting XML external entities
        from untrusted sources. Using specially crafted XML
        data, a remote attacker could access sensitive
        information or cause a denial of service. This affects
        versions 3.6 - 3.9.1, except 3.7.4 and 3.8.4.
    
      - An XML injection flaw exists within 'xmlrpc.php' due to
        the parser accepting XML internal entities without
        properly validating them. Using specially crafted XML
        data, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service.
        This affects versions 1.5 - 3.9.1, except 3.7.4 and
        3.8.4.
    
      - An unsafe serialization flaw exists in the script
        '/src/wp-includes/class-wp-customize-widgets.php' when
        processing widgets. This could allow a remote attacker
        to execute arbitrary code. Versions 3.9 and 3.9.1
        non-default configurations are affected.
    
      - A flaw exists when building CSRF tokens due to it not
        separating pieces by delimiter and not comparing nonces
        in a time-constant manner. This could allow a remote
        attacker to conduct a brute force attack and potentially
        disclose the CSRF token. This affects versions 2.0.3 -
        3.9.1, except 3.7.4 and 3.8.4.
    
      - A cross-site scripting flaw exists in the function
        'get_avatar' within the '/src/wp-includes/pluggable.php'
        script where input from the avatars is not validated
        before returning it to the user. Using a specially
        crafted request, an authenticated attacker could execute
        arbitrary script code within the browser / server trust
        relationship. This affects version 3.9.1.
