XML External Entity And XML Injection Vulnerabilities
 
CVE: CVE-2009-3960
Adobe PSIRT: APSB10-05 - http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-05.html
Link: http://www.security-assessment.com/files/advisories/2010-02-22_Multiple_Adobe_Products-XML_External_Entity_and_XML_Injection.pdf
 
+-----------+
|Description|
+-----------+
 
Security-Assessment.com discovered that multiple Adobe
products with different Data Services versions are
vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) and XML
injection attacks.
XML external Entities injection allows a wide range of
XML based attacks, including local file disclosure,
TCP scans and Denial of Service condition, which can
be achieved by recursive entity injection, attribute
blow up and other types of injection.
For more information about the implications associated
to this vulnerability, refer to the RFC2518 (17.7
Implications of XML External Entities):
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2518.txt
 
+--------------+
|Product Review|
+--------------+
 
Adobe Data Services components provide Flex/RIA
applications with data messaging, remoting and
management capabilities.
 
The discovered vulnerabilities affect the HTTPChannel
 servlet classes which are respectively
“mx.messaging.channels.HTTPChannel” and
“mx.messaging.channels.SecureHTTPChannel”. These
classes are part of the Data Services Messaging
classes and can be found in the
flex-messaging-common.jar Java archive.
 
The HTTPChannel transports data in the AMFX format,
which is the text-based XML representation of AMF.
The HTTPChannel endpoints are defined in the
services-config.xml file, located within the
Flex/WEB-INF folder of the application.
By default, the HTTPChannel classes are mapped to
the following endpoints:
 
1. http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/http
2. https://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/httpsecure
 
Note that the HTTPChannel may be mapped to different
endpoints.
This depends on the deployed application and the
framework in use (e.g. BlazeDS, Adobe LiveCycle
Data Services, etc.).
 
+--------------------------------------------+
|Exploitation - XML External Entity Injection|
+--------------------------------------------+
 
XML entities can be declared and included within AMFX
requests passed to the HTTPChannel. The XML parser
parses the payload and successfully processes
injected entities.
 
The following table shows an example of XML external
entity injection which leads to local file disclosure.
The AMFX request is sent via the HTTPChannel endpoint
in BlazeDS.

The above injection was successfully tested on
multiple Adobe products, as shown below:
 
1. Product: Adobe BlazeDS 3.2.0.39
Linux Ubuntu 9.04 / Tomcat 6.0.14
 
Endpoint URIs:
 
{server.name}:{server.port}/
{context.root}/messagebroker/http
{server.name}:{server.port}/
{context.root}/messagebroker/httpsecure
 
Methods: POST, GET
Protocols: HTTP, HTTPS
 
 
2. Adobe LiveCycle Data Services ES2 3.0
Windows XP SP2 / Tomcat 6.0.14
 
Endpoint URIs:
 
{server.name}:{server.port}/
{context.root}/messagebroker/http
{server.name}:{server.port}/
{context.root}/messagebroker/httpsecure
 
Methods: POST, GET
Protocols: HTTP, HTTPS
 
3. ColdFusion 9.0
Windows XP SP2 / Tomcat 6.0.14
 
Endpoint URIs:
 
{server.name}:{server.port}/
{context.root}/flex2gateway/http
{server.name}:{server.port}/
{context.root}/flex2gateway/httpsecure 
 
Methods: POST, GET
Protocols: HTTP, HTTPS
 
4. Adobe LiveCycle ES2
Windows XP SP2 / IBM Websphere 7.0
 
Endpoint URIs:
 
{server.name}:{server.port}/
{context.root}/messagebroker/http
{server.name}:{server.port}/
{context.root}/messagebroker/httpsecure
 
Methods: POST, GET
Protocols: HTTP, HTTPS
 
The vendor has released several patches for this
vulnerability. See the Solution section of this
document for more information.
 
+----------------------------+
|Exploitation - XML Injection|
+----------------------------+
 
The XML parser lacks of proper input and output
validation controls. Security-Assessment.com managed
to inject arbitrary XML content which was returned
in the XML response.
The following table shows an XML injection in the
BlazeDS HTTPChannel. The injected payload becomes
part of the response. In this case, injection is
possible via the “responseURI” attribute.
 
XMLInjection – BlazeDS - Request
 
POST /samples/messagebroker/http HTTP/1.1
Content-type: application/x-amf
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<amfx ver="3"><body targetURI="" responseURI="d" injectedattr="anything"><null/>
</body></amfx>
 
XMLInjection – BlazeDS - Response
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<amfx ver="3"><body targetURI="d" injectedattr="anything" responseURI=""><null/></body></amfx></body></amfx>
