How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability is a stack-based buffer overflow that is triggered by manipulating the webSiteId argument in the formWebTypeLibrary function. An attacker can send a specially crafted request to the vulnerable function, causing the system to overflow its stack buffer. This can allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code or crash the system, leading to a potential system compromise.
Conceptual Example Code
Here’s a conceptual example of how an HTTP request exploiting this vulnerability might look. This is not a real exploit, but a simplified representation to help understand the vulnerability.
POST /goform/webtypelibrary HTTP/1.1
Host: target_ip
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
webSiteId=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...In this example, the ‘A’s represent an overly long string that is designed to overflow the buffer.
Countermeasures
The most effective countermeasure for this vulnerability is to apply the patch provided by the vendor. If the patch cannot be applied immediately, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can help mitigate the risk temporarily by blocking or alerting on traffic that appears to be exploiting this vulnerability. However, these are only temporary solutions, and the patch should be applied as soon as practicable to fully secure the system.
