Product & Service Introduction:
===============================
The Barracuda Web Filter is an integrated content filtering, application
blocking and malware protection solution that is powerful,
easy to use and affordable for businesses of all sizes. It enforces Internet
usage policies by blocking access to Web sites and
Internet applications that are not related to business, and it easily and
completely eliminates spyware and other forms of malware
from your organization. No more costly staff time lost repairing infected
computers.

Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Remote
Severity Level:
===============
Medium
Technical Details & Description:
================================
A persistent input validation web vulnerability is detected in the Barracuda
Networks WebFilter Model 610Vx appliance web-application.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own malicious script codes
on the application-side of the affected service, module or function.
The vulnerability is located in the `Basic > Reports` module in the `domain
names`, `grid__data in grid_columns` and `x-grid3-cell-inner x-grid3-col-name`
values. Remote attackers are able to inject own script code as domain name to
execute the context in the show advanced options menu listing (+plus) with
persistent attack vector.
To bypass the invalid domain exception the attacker first need to include a
valid domain, in the second step he change the domain name value by a
session tamper. Reason behind the technique is that the input field validation
is seperatly done to the request method validation. The restriction
of the invalid input field check can be bypassed by usage of a session tamper
to change the input field context after the first direct input encode
of the web filter application. Another problem is located in the same module
which affects the buttom name item listing.
Exploitation of the persistent web vulnerability requires low user interaction
and a local low privileged web-application account. Successful exploitation
of the vulnerability results in session hijacking (customers), persistent
phishing, persistent external redirects or persistent manipulation of connected
or affected module context.

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse and encode of the input to
add domains. Ensure that the application GET to POST requests are restricted
and filtered
to prevent further attacks in the vulnerable add domains module.
Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the persistent input validation web vulnerabilities are
estimated as medium(+).
