Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline: ================================== 2013-11-08: Researcher Notification & Coordination (Benjamin Kunz Mejri) 2013-11-10: Vendor Notification (Barracuda Networks - Bug Bounty Program) 2013-11-13: Vendor Response/Feedback (Barracuda Networks - Bug Bounty Program) 2014-06-31: Vendor Fix/Patch (Barracuda Networks Developer Team - Reward: $$$) 2014-00-00: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory) Discovery Status: ================= Published Affected Product(s): ==================== Barracuda Networks Product: Message Archiver 650 - Appliance Application 3.1.0.914 Exploitation Technique: ======================= Remote Severity Level: =============== Medium Technical Details & Description: ================================ A persistent input validation web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Barracuda Networks Message Archiver 650 v3.2 appliance web-application. The remote vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own malicious script codes on the application-side of the vulnerable application module. The vulnerability is located in the `Benutzer > Neu Anlegen > Rolle: Auditor > Domänen` module. Remote attackers are able to inject own malicious script codes in the vulnerable domain_list_table-r0 values. The execution of the script code occurs in the domain_list_table-r0 and user_domain_admin:1 appliance application response context. The request method is POST and the attack vector is persistent on the application-side of the barracuda networks message archiver web appliance. The security risk of the persistent input validation web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.6. Exploitation of the vulnerability requires a low privileged or restricted application user account with low or medium user interaction. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, persistent phishing, persistent external redirects and persistent manipulation of module context. Request Method(s): [+] POST Vulnerable Module(s): [+] Benutzer > Neu Anlegen > Rolle: Auditor Vulnerable Input(s): [+] Domänen Vulnerable Parameter(s): [+] domain_list_table-r0 Affected Module(s): [+] Rolle: Auditor Listing Proof of Concept (PoC): ======================= The persistent web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers with low privileged or restricted application user account and low required user inter action.
