TITLE:
Profense Web Application Firewall Cross-Site Scripting and Cross-Site
Request Forgery

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA33739

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/33739/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Profense Web Application Firewall 2.x
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/21280/

DESCRIPTION:
Michael Brooks has discovered some vulnerabilities in Profense Web
Application Firewall, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct cross-site scripting and cross-site request forgery attacks.

1) Input passed via the "proxy" parameter in proxy.html is not
properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.

2) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity check to verify the request.
This can be exploited to perform certain actions, e.g. to shutdown the
system, by enticing a logged-in administrator to visit a malicious web
site.

The vulnerability is reported in version 2.6.2 and confirmed in
version 2.6.3. Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not follow untrusted links and do not visit untrusted web sites
while being logged-in to the web-based management interface.
