SearchBlox contains multiple vulnerabilities

Overview

SearchBlox contains multiple vulnerabilities that can allow an unauthenticated attacker to overwrite critical data on the filesystem, read cleartext user credentials, or execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.

Description

SearchBlox versions 7.4 Build 1 and older contain multiple vulnerabilities that allow an unauthenticated attacker to compromise the integrity of the system and the confidentiality of its data. Specifically:

CWE-77: Command Injection- CVE-2013-3590
Active content, such as JSP pages, can be uploaded to <http://HOSTNAME:8080/searchblox/admin/uploadImage.html&gt;. This can be done by submitting the content using the form and using a client proxy to ensure that the “Content-Type” for the uploaded file is “image/jpeg”. The attacker can then visit the uploaded content and enable its execution.

CWE-200: Information Exposure - CVE-2013-3597
Usernames and passwords can be read from the database by visiting http://HOSTNAME:8080/searchblox/servlet/CollectionListServlet?action=getList&orderBy=colName&direction=asc

CWE-73: External Control of File Name or Path - CVE-2013-3598
Filesystem data can be remotely overwritten by sending an HTTP POST request to /searchblox/servlet/CreateTemplateServlet and modifying the “name” parameter to point to an arbitrary system file, such as “…/…/…/…/…/etc/shadow”.

The CVSS scores reflect the command injection attack.
