TufinOS 2.17 Build 1193 – XML External Entity Injection

The SecureTrack application is vulnerable to XML External Entity injection. This attack is considered quite serious and can be used to retrieve confidential data, perform denial of service, execute server side request forgery attacks, and perform port scanning through the machine on other systems. The vulnerability exists in the 'Audit' > 'Best Practices' module of the 'SecureTrack' application when creating a new Best Practices query and manipulating the 'xml' parameter in the request. When triggered, the vulnerability writes the contents of the requested file inside the name field of a best practice. This vulnerability affects every 'SecureTrack' application authentication user role.

Mitigation:

Reconfigure the XML processor to use a local static DTD

# CVE: N/A
# Category: webapps

# 1. Description
# The SecureTrack application is vulnerable to XML External Entity injection. 
# This attack is considered quite serious and can be used to:
# (1) Retrieve confidential data
# (2) Perform denial of service
# (3) Execute server side request forgery attacks
# (4) Perform port scanning through the machine on other systems 

# The issue was identified inside the "Audit" > "Best Practices" module of the "SecureTrack" 
# application when creating a new Best Practices query and manipulating the "xml" parameter 
# in the request. When the vulnerability is triggered it doesn't directly return anything 
# to the attacker but rather the contents of the requested file are written inside 
# the name field of a best practices. This vulnerability affects every "SecureTrack" 
# application authentication user role.
   
# 2. Proof of Concept
# Step 1: Login to the "SecureTrack" application using any user and then navigate to 
# "Audit" > "Best Practices". 
# Step 2: Create and submit a "New Query" while intercepting the traffic:
# Step 3: Send the request to repeater and change it to include the following 
# payload after the "xml=" input field:
-->

<!DOCTYPE foo [<!ENTITY AAAA SYSTEM "file:///etc/passwd"> ]>

<!--

# The payload should be URL encoded before delivered to the application

# Step 4: Submit the request to the server.

# Step 5: Refresh your browser to view the new Best Practice that was created. The following image 
# displays that the request was successfully processed by the server and a new Best Practice was 
# created. The contents of the requested file "/etc/passwd" is saved as the name of the "Best Practice query". 

# 3. Solution:
# Reconfigure the XML processor to use a local static DTD and disallow any declared DTD included in 
# the XML document. Another solution is to explicitly disable External XML Entities in the parser of 
# the application.
