Vulnerability 2 – Special Element Injection

  • CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9471
  • CWE-ID: CWE-75
  • CVSSv2: 2.1 (AV:N/AC:H/Au:S/C:N/I:P/A:N)
  • CVSSv3 Vector CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C

Description

Joel Noguera has reported via HackerOne that usernames weren’t properly sanitised when creating users on a Revive Adserver instance. Especially, control characters were not filtered, allowing apparently identical usernames to co-exist in the system, due to the fact that such characters are normally ignored when an HTML page is displayed in a browser. The issue could have therefore been exploited for user spoofing, although elevated privileges are required to create users within Revive Adserver.

Vulnerability 3 – Reflected XSS

  • CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9472
  • CWE-ID: CWE-79
  • CVSSv2: 4 (AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N)
  • CVSSv3 Vector CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C
  • CVSSv3 Base Score: 4.2
  • CVSSv3 Temporal Score: 3.7

Description

The HackerOne user pavanw3b has reported that the Revive Adserver web installer scripts were vulnerable to a reflected XSS attack via the dbHost, dbUser and possibly other parameters. It has to be noted that the window for such attack vectors to be possible is extremely narrow and it is very unlikely that such an attack could be actually effective.
