(Copy of the Vendor Homepage: http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/) Abstract: ========= An independent vulnerability laboratory researcher discovered a client-side url redirect and cross site scripting web vulnerability in the official Adobe (Edex) web-application. Report-Timeline: ================ 2015-11-02: Researcher Notification & Coordination (Karim Rahal) 2015-11-03: Vendor Notification (Adobe PSIRT - Security Acknowledgements) 2015-11-09: Vendor Response/Feedback (Adobe PSIRT - Security Acknowledgements) 2015-03-01: Vendor Fix/Patch (Adobe - Developer Team) 2015-03-06: Security Reward (Adobe PSIRT - Security Acknowledgements) 2015-03-09: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory) Status: ======== Published Affected Products: ================== Adobe Systems Product: Edex - Online Service (Web-Application) v2015 Q4 Exploitation-Technique: ======================= Remote Severity: ========= Medium Details: ======== Reflected XSS(non-persistent) is a vulnerability that allows an attacker to execute a Payload(script) inside a website via the URL. Reflected XSS is done because of Lack-of Filtering inside the Code which allows the attacker to execute his payload(script) into the page and he could execute malicious code then send it to victim and exploit it on the victim`s browser. The injection point of the bug is the redirect parameter value and the request method to inject is GET. The vulnerability is a classic client-side cross site scripting vulnerability with non-persistent attack vector. The vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without privilege web-application user accounts and with low or medium user interaction. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, non-persistent phishing, non-persistent external redirects, non-persistent load of malicious script codes or non-persistent web module context manipulation. A client-side redirect is also detected in the redirect value of the auth mechanism in the edex adobe online service web-application. The vulnerability allows remote attacker to redirect client-side browser to application GET method requests. The vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without privilege web-application user accounts and with low or medium user interaction. Successful exploitation results in client side phishing and client-side external redirect to malicious sources. Request Method(s): [+] GET Vulnerable Service(s): [+] edex.adobe.com Vulnerable Module(s): [+] ./main/auth/ Vulnerable Parameter(s): [+] redirect Proof of Concept: ================= The vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers without privileged web-application user account and with low or medium user interaction. For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue. PoC: Cross Site Scripting https://edex.adobe.com/main/auth/?redirect="> PoC: Redirect https://edex.adobe.com/main/auth/?redirect="http://www.vulnerability-lab.com/x Reference(s): https://edex.adobe.com/ https://edex.adobe.com/main/ https://edex.adobe.com/main/auth/ Solution: ========= Restrict the redirect parameter value to disallow unauthorized xternal redirects to malicious webpages. Encode and parse the vulnerable redirect value in the auth mechanism to prevent client-side script code injection attacks. Filter and restrict the input by disallowing the usage of special chars to provoke exceptions. Risk: ===== The security risk of the client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability and redirect issue are estimated as medium.
