CRITICAL:
Moderately critical
IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting, Exposure of system information, Exposure of
sensitive information
WHERE:
From remote
SOFTWARE:
Active WebCam 4.x
DESCRIPTION:
Luigi Auriemma has reported two vulnerabilities in Active WebCam,
which can be exploited by malicious people to read arbitrary files on
a system and conduct Cross-Site Scripting attacks.
Both vulnerabilities are caused due to missing input validation.
The content of arbitrary files on a vulnerable system can be read via
classic directory traversal attacks.
Example:
[Only registered and activated users can see links][victim]:8080/../../../windows/system.ini
User input is not sanitised before being returning in error pages.
Arbitrary HTML or script code can therefore be included in an invalid
request, which will cause it to be executed in a user's browser
session when viewed.
Example:
[Only registered and activated users can see links][victim]:8080/<script>alert(document.cookie);</script>
The vulnerabilities have been reported in versions 4.3 and prior.
SOLUTION:
Reportedly, the vendor issued an updated version on 17th December
without incrementing the version number.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Luigi Auriemma
