Description: An input validation vulnerability was reported in Escapade. A remote user can conduct cross- site scripting attacks. A remote user can also determine the installation path.
It is reported that the software does not filter HTML code from user-supplied input when displaying the user- supplied input. A remote user can create a specially crafted URL that, when loaded by a target user, will cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target user's browser. The code will originate from the site running the Escapade software and will run in the security context of that site. As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.
A demonstration exploit URL is provided:
http://[target]/cgi-bin/esp?PAGE=
A remote user can reportedly request a non-existent page (or other invalid variables) to cause the system to return an error message that displays the installation path. A demonstration exploit URL is provided:
http://[target]/cgi-bin/esp?PAGE=!@#$%
The vendor has reportedly been notified.
Impact: A remote user can access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site running the Escapade software, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.
A remote user can determine the installation path.
Solution: No solution was available at the time of this entry.
