Barracuda Networks Spam Firewall Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability CVE Number: CVE-2008-2333 Vulnerability Type / Importance: Cross-Site Scripting (Reflected) / Medium Problem Discovered 24 April 2008 Vendor Contacted 24 April 2008 Advisory Published 22 May 2008 Abstract The Barracuda Spam Firewall device web administration interface is vulnerable to a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability which may allow theft of administrative credentials or downloading of malicious content. Description: The Barracuda device presents LDAP testing functionality via a script called 'ldap_test.cgi'. The script does not sufficiently validate user-supplied input within the 'email' parameter. As a result, client-supplied script code can be injected into the 'email' parameter that would execute in the browser within the security context of the Barracuda device. Vendor information: http://www.barracudanetworks.com/ns/support/tech_alert.php Proof of Concept: https://<vulnerable_host>/cgi-bin/ldap_test.cgi?host=127.0.0.1&port=1&tl s_mode=tls_mode&tls_require=&username=&password=&filter=&searchbase=&uni que_attr=&email_attr=&domain=*&email=%3Cscript%3Ealert(document.cookie)% 3C/script%3E Mitigation: Access to the web management application can be limited by IP address. Firmware release 3.5.11.025 has been released by the vendor to address this issue; however the patch has not been tested by IRM. Tested/Affected Versions: IRM confirmed the presence of this vulnerability in Barracuda Spam Firewall 600 Firmware 3.5.11.020.
