Summary

IBM Security Guardium Database Activity Monitor 8.2 before p310, 9.x through 9.5 before p700, and 10.x through 10.1 before p100 allows remote authenticated users to spoof administrator accounts by sending a modified login request over HTTP.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • 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.
  • Signature Spoofing by Key Theft
    An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by theft and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.

description### Summary An exploitable information disclosure vulnerability exists in the Web Application functionality of Moxa AWK-3131A Wireless Access Point. Retrieving a series of URLs without authentication can reveal sensitive configuration and system information to an attacker. ### Tested Versions Moxa AWK-3131A Series Industrial IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n wireless AP/bridge/client 1.1 ### Product URLs http://www.moxa.com/product/AWK-3131A.htm ### CVSSv3 Score 7.5 - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N ### Details An exploitable information disclosure vulnerability exists in the Web Application functionality of Moxa AWK-3131A Series Industrial IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n wireless AP/bridge/client. Retrieving a series of URLs without authentication can reveal sensitive configuration and system information to an attacker. Specifically, an unauthenticated attacker can visit http:///makeonekey.gz and then http:///getonekey.gz to obtain compressed file which contains systemlog.log, config.ini, and the system_status folder. These files contain sensitive information, including encoded credentials for system services and wireless interfaces. ### Exploit Proof-of-Concept (optional) First ``` http://<Device IP>/makeonekey.gz ``` Then ``` http://<Device IP>/getonekey.gz ``` ### Mitigation (optional) To significantly mitigate risk of exploitation, disable the web application before the device is deployed. ### Timeline * 2016-11-18 - Vendor Disclosure * 2017-04-10 - Public Release ### CREDIT * Discovered by Patrick DeSantis of Cisco Talos.
