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.

NASL family Web Servers NASL id IBM_TEM_9_5_4_38.NASL description According to its self-reported version, the IBM BigFix Platform application running on the remote host is 9.0.x or 9.1.x prior to 9.1.9.1301, 9.2.x prior to 9.2.9.36, or 9.5.x prior to 9.5.4.38. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free race condition. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-6082) - A denial of service vulnerability exists that is triggered when handling specially crafted XMLSchema requests. An unauthenticated, adjacent attacker can exploit this to crash the BES Server. Note that this issue only affects 9.0.x or 9.1.x versions prior to 9.1.9. (CVE-2016-6084) - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the BES Root Server and BES Relay Memory due to improper handling of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, adjacent attacker can exploit this to cause the system to crash. (CVE-2016-6085) Note that, additionally, several vulnerabilities possibly also exist in the bundled version of OpenSSL included in versions 9.0.x.
