Vulnerability Analysis<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

The send mail functionality in forgot password is vulnerable to SQL injection. An adversary can access the contents of the database.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Proof of Concept<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Product<\/strong>: \u00a0CAPExWeb (A multiexchange BackOffice Solution for Capital and Derivative Market brokers in India)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Product<\/strong> version<\/strong>: Capexweb 1.1<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Vulnerable URL<\/strong>: http:\/\/www.shilpisoft.com\/sunil\/corporate.zip<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Severity rating<\/strong>: High<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

CVSS V3 Score<\/strong>: 8.6<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Steps to reproduce:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Step<\/strong> 1<\/strong>: Visit the \/capexweb\/capexweb <\/em><\/strong>URL on the server where the capexweb<\/em><\/strong> client is installed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Step 2<\/strong>: Now, fill the login form with invalid credentials and click Submit<\/em><\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Figure 1<\/strong>: Login form with invalid credentials.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Figure 2:<\/strong> Response shows the credentials are invalid.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> We cannot navigate to the capforgotpassword.jsp<\/em><\/strong> directly. As the application takes the user id from the previously submitted request.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Figure 3:<\/strong> Forgot password page with user-id value submitted in login page. Now, click on the Send Request<\/em><\/strong> button, and you will receive a Response<\/em><\/strong> from the server for an invalid user id.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Figure 4:<\/strong> Replay of forgot password page with user-id value contains a single quote returns ORA string not properly terminated error message from the database.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Figure 6:<\/strong> The available databases in the Oracle database server.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mitigation<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

We recommend the following fixes for this vulnerability.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Implement input validation for special characters in request parameters before passing to the database for processing.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  • Show a custom error message to restrict the users to see the cause for error at the server end.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Recommendation<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

    We recommend that the vulnerability should be fixed as the severity rating is high and seeks immediate attention. As a workaround, we recommend the trading companies to restrict access to the URLs (\/capexweb\/servlet\/capexweb.cap_sendMail).<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
