Product & Service Introduction:  
===============================  
The Barracuda Control Center is a comprehensive cloud-based service that  
enables administrators to monitor and configure multiple  
Barracuda Networks products from a single console. With the Barracuda  
Control Center, you can check the health of all connected  
devices, run reports that are generated by gathering data from all the  
devices, and assign roles with varied permissions to different  
types of users. The powerful Web interface of the Barracuda Control  
Center provides for convenient configuration and management of  
multiple Barracuda Networks device settings, while also providing a view  
of each device Web interface for individual configuration  
or reporting. No need to install software or deploy hardware. Key  
statistics can be viewed by device type at a glance on the Status  
page of the Web interface with the ability to drill down for more detail  
into the individual Web interface for each connected device.

Technical Details & Description:  
================================  
A client-side cross site scripting vulnerability has been discovered in  
the official Barracuda Networks Cloud Control v7.1.1.003 appliance  
web-application.  
The cross site vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own  
malicious script codes to client-side browser to web-application  
requests to compromise  
session credentials or client-side web context.  
  
The cross site scripting web vulnerability is located in the `email`  
parameter of the `./new_user/success/` registration module. Remote  
attackers with  
knowledge about an exisiting email are able to attach the exisiting  
email with a payload to the thanks page request. Thus allows the remote  
attacker to  
trigger a client-side cross site scripting issue within the thank you  
page of the barracuda cloud control registration mechanism. The request  
method to  
inject is GET and the attack vector is located on the client-side of the  
online service web-application.  
  
The security risk of the cross site scripting web vulnerability is  
estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system)  
count of 3.3.  
Exploitation of the client-side cross site web vulnerability requires no  
privileged web-application user account and low or medium user interaction.  
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in non-persistent  
phishing, session hijacking, non-persistent external redirect to malicious  
sources and client-side manipulation of affected or connected web module  
context.  
  
Request Method(s):  
[+] GET  
  
Vulnerable Module(s):  
[+] ./new_user/success/  
  
Vulnerable Parameter(s):  
[+] email  
  
  
Proof of Concept (PoC):  
=======================  
The cross site scripting vulnerability can be exploited by remote  
attackers without privileged web-application user account and with low  
user interaction.  
For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the  
provided information and steps below to continue.

Solution - Fix & Patch:  
=======================  
The vulnerability can be patched by a parse of the vulnerable email  
parameter in the thank you registration page of barracuda networks cc  
application.  
Parse in the vulnerable output location the source to prevent the  
execution of the client-side injected payloads. Disallow the usage of  
special chars  
on parameter requests via GET method.  
  
  
Security Risk:  
==============  
The security risk of the client-side cross site scripting web  
vulnerability in the cloud control web-application is estimated as medium.
