TITLE:
APC NMC Products Cross-Site Scripting and Request Forgery
Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37744

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37744/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in various APC Network
Management Card (NMC) based products, which can be exploited by
malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and cross-site
request forgery attacks.

1) Input passed to various parameters (e.g. the "login_username"
parameter in Forms/login1) is not properly sanitised before being
returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML
and script code in a user's browser session in context of the web
interface.

2) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
request. This can be exploited to e.g. create administrative users by
tricking a logged-in administrative user into visiting a malicious web
site.

Vulnerability #1 is reported in APC AP7932 Switched Rack PDU version
3.3.4 with application module version 3.7.0. Other APC NMC products
and versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Filter malicious characters and character sequences using a proxy. Do
not browse untrusted websites and do not follow untrusted links.

Apply updated firmware versions when available. Contact the vendor
for additional details.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Russ McRee, HolisticInfoSec.
