Report-Timeline: ================ 2012-11-11: Researcher Notification & Coordination 2012-11-12: Vendor Notification 2012-11-19: Vendor Response/Feedback 2013-02-20: Vendor Fix/Patch 2012-05-27: PublicDisclosure Status: ======== Published Affected Products: ================== Barracuda Networks Product: SSL VPN 680 2.2.2.203 Exploitation-Technique: ======================= Remote Severity: ========= Low Details: ======== A remote redirection (external) vulnerability is detected in the Barracuda SSL VPN 680 v2.2.2.203 (Vx) Web Application Appliance. The bug allows remote attackers to prepare links to client side external redirects with malware, phishing websites or malicious web context. The vulnerability is located in the resourceId parameter request when processing to load via GET method an internal `returnTo` file redirect. Vulnerable Module(s): [+] launchApplication.do [resourceId] Vulnerable Parameter(s): [+] returnTo Proof of Concept: ================= The vulnerability can be exploited by remote attacker without privileged application user account but with medium or high required user inter action. For demonstration or reproduce ... 1.1 The first url shows the standard request via GET request https://sslvpn.127.0.0.1:8080/launchApplication.do?resourceId=1&policy=1&returnTo=%2FshowApplicationShortcuts.do 1.2 The secound url shows the manipulated remote context via GET request https://sslvpn.127.0.0.1:8080/launchApplication.do?resourceId=1&policy=1&returnTo=http://www.vulnerability-lab.com https://sslvpn.[SERVER]/[FILE].do?[RES+ID]=x&[POLICY]=x&returnTo=[EXTERNAL TARGET] Solution: ========= The vulnerability can be patched by allowing only local file requests when processing to load the vulnerable returnTo parameter via GET. 2013-02-20: Vendor Fix/Patch Risk: ===== The security risk of the redirection vulnerability is estimated as low(+).
