Umbraco Open Proxy Vulnerability
Advisory ID: MATTA-2012-001
CVE reference: CVE-2012-1301
Affected platforms: Umbraco
Version: 4.x
Date: 2012-January-26
Security risk: High
Vulnerability: Umbraco bundles a script behaving like an open-proxy
Researcher: Florent Daigniere
Vendor Status: Notified
Vulnerability Disclosure Policy:
https://www.trustmatta.com/advisories/matta-disclosure-policy-01.txt
Permanent URL:

=====================================================================
Description:
Vulnerable installations of Umbraco allow unauthenticated users to
abuse the script FeedProxy.aspx into proxying requests on their
behalf through the "url" parameter.
=====================================================================
Impact
Anyone with access to the management interface of umbraco can abuse
FeedProxy script into proxying requests for them.
The impact of such vulnerability is difficult to measure and depends
on the specifics of the deployment. Typically, this can allow
attackers to connect to other systems, bypassing controls or be
abused to trick users and browsers into performing actions they
wouldn't otherwise consider (XSS, phishing, ...).
This particular vulnerability can also be abused to create a powerful
Denial of Service: a single recursive proxy-request will take the
application server down and, depending on the configuration of the
server, might severely affect unrelated services.
=====================================================================
Versions affected:
Umbraco version 4.7.0 tested.
=====================================================================
Threat mitigation
Matta consultants recommend deleting the FeedProxy script or
upgrading umbraco to version 5+.
=====================================================================
Credits
This vulnerability was discovered and researched by Florent Daigniere
