How the Exploit Works
The security flaw lies in the password reset feature of the JobCenter application. The software neglects to configure the SERVER_NAME, meaning the reset process is dependent on the Host HTTP header. This allows a malicious actor to manipulate the HTTP header to gain unauthorized access to other users’ accounts, leading to potential account takeover, system compromise, and data leakage.
Conceptual Example Code
Below is a conceptual example of how an attacker might exploit this vulnerability:
POST /password-reset HTTP/1.1
Host: victim.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{
"user": "victim_user",
"new_password": "attacker_controlled_password"
}In the above example, an attacker sends a specifically crafted request to the password reset endpoint of the JobCenter application. By manipulating the Host header to match the victim’s server, the attacker can initiate a password reset for the victim’s account, setting a new password controlled by the attacker.
Mitigation and Prevention
To mitigate this vulnerability, users are advised to apply the vendor patch as soon as it becomes available. Until then, the use of Web Application Firewalls (WAF) and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) can serve as temporary mitigation, providing some level of protection against potential exploits. Regularly monitoring system and application logs for unusual activity can also help in early detection of any attempted exploits.
