Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Fake the Source of Data
    An adversary provides data under a falsified identity. The purpose of using the falsified identity may be to prevent traceability of the provided data or it might be an attempt by the adversary to assume the rights granted to another identity. One of the simplest forms of this attack would be the creation of an email message with a modified "From" field in order to appear that the message was sent from someone other than the actual sender. Results of the attack vary depending on the details of the attack, but common results include privilege escalation, obfuscation of other attacks, and data corruption/manipulation.

descriptionThe version of EMC RSA Authentication Manager running on the remote host is prior to 8.3 Patch 1 (8.3.0.1). It is, therefore affected by the following vulnerabilities: - A flaw exists with the Security Console due to improper parsing of XML data. An authenticated remote attacker, with a specifically crafted XML data, could potentially cause a denial of service or access sensitive information. (CVE-2018-1247) - A flaw exists with the Security Console, Operation Console and Self-Service Console due to improper sanitization of input when handling specially crafted requests. A context-dependent attacker could inject custom http headers, potentially poisoning the http cache and redirecting users. (CVE-2018-1248)
