Introduction:  
=============  
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the agency of the United States government   
that is responsible for the nation`s civilian space program and for aeronautics and aerospace research.   
Since February 2006, NASA`s mission statement has been to `pioneer the future in space exploration,   
scientific discovery and aeronautics research.`` On September 14, 2011, NASA announced that it had   
selected the design of a new Space Launch System that it said would take the agency s astronauts farther   
into space than ever before and provide the cornerstone for future human space exploration efforts by the U.S.

Critical  
  
  
Details:  
========  
Multiple remote File Upload vulnerabilities & Misconfiguration Read Bugs are detected on the official NASA CMS Subdomains.   
The Vulnerability allows to read the config & can result in malicious file uploads. Successful exploitation can result in   
dbms- & application compromise. The bugs are located in the available FCKeditor version & multiple nasa subdomains are vulnerable.  
  
Attacker can for example scan for fckeditor bugs & exploit them via automatic routine. The method allows to manipulate   
multiple nasa subdomains.  
  
Vulnerable Module(s):  
[+] FCKeditor  
  
  
Proof of Concept:  
=================  
The vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers without user inter action. For demonstration or reproduce ...
