Introduction:
=============
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the agency of the 
United States government 
that is responsible for the nation`s civilian space program and for aeronautics 
and aerospace research. 
Since February 2006, NASA`s mission statement has been to `pioneer the future 
in space exploration, 
scientific discovery and aeronautics research.`` On September 14, 2011, NASA 
announced that it had 
selected the design of a new Space Launch System that it said would take the 
agency s astronauts farther 
into space than ever before and provide the cornerstone for future human space 
exploration efforts by the U.S.

Abstract:
=========
A Vulnerability Lab Researcher discovered multiple critical vulnerabilities on 
a NASA CMS Application.


Report-Timeline:
================
2012-01-28:     Vendor Notification
2012-02-01:     Public or Non-Public Disclosure


Status:
========
Published


Exploitation-Technique:
=======================
Remote


Severity:
=========
Critical


Details:
========
Multiple  remote File Upload vulnerabilities & Misconfiguration Read Bugs are 
detected on the official NASA CMS Subdomains. 
The Vulnerability allows to read the config & can result in malicious file 
uploads. Successful exploitation can result in 
dbms- & application compromise. The bugs are located in the available FCKeditor 
version & multiple nasa subdomains are vulnerable.

Attacker can for example scan for fckeditor bugs & exploit them via automatic 
routine. The method allows to manipulate 
multiple nasa subdomains.
 
Vulnerable Module(s):
                                        [+] FCKeditor


Proof of Concept:
=================
The vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers without user inter 
action. For demonstration or reproduce ...

Risk:
=====
The security risk of the multiple vulnerabilities are estimated as high(+).
