It handles security policy enforcement, host integrity checking (Symantec Network Access Control only), and automated remediation over all clients. The policies functionality is the heart of the Symantec software. Clients connect to the server to get the latest policies, security settings, and software updates. Vulnerability Type(s): ====================== Multiple Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Cross Site Request Forgeries (CSRF) Open Redirect CVE Reference(s): ================= CVE-2016-3652 / XSS CVE-2016-3653 / CSRF CVE-2016-5304 / Open Redirect Vulnerability Details: ===================== The management console for SEPM contains a number of security vulnerabilities that could be used by a lower-privileged user or by an unauthorized user to elevate privilege or gain access to unauthorized information on the management server. Exploitation attempts of these vulnerabilities requires access to the SEP Management console. References: ============ https://www.symantec.com/security_response/securityupdates/detail.jsp?fid=security_advisory&pvid=security_advisory&year=&suid=20160628_01 Exploit code(s): =============== In this case XSS can bypass the "http-only" cookie protection because the SEPM application writes and stores the session ID within various javascript functions used by the application within the DOM thereby exposing them directly to the XSS attack. 1) createModalDialogFromURL 2) createWindowFromURL 3) createWindowFromForm 4) createIEWindowFromForm So all we need to do is alert(createModalDialogFromURL) anyone one of them (functions) an it will leak the session ID essentially throwing the HttpOnly secure cookie protection flag into the garbage. e.g. XSS POC Defeat http-only flag and access PHPSESSID: https://localhost:8445/Reporting/Admin/notificationpopup.php?New=1&Type=CR&height=alert%28createModalDialogFromURL%29# Open Redirect in external URL .php script: ========================================= A reporting URL used to route generated reports externally to any authorized URL is susceptible to an open redirect vulnerability that could have allowed an authorized but less-privileged user to redirect an unsuspecting privileged user to an external URL to attempt further exploitation, e.g. phishing. If a victim clicks on a link supplied by an attacker e.g. https://localhost:8445/Reporting/common/externalurl.php?url=http://hyp3rlinx.altervista.org Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF): ================================== Multiple Cross Site Request Forgery exists in couple of places within this version of SEPM below is an example of sending scheduled report to an remote attackers email, if current logged in user visits malicious webpage or clicks infected link etc...
