Title: Sun NetDynamics Session ID Hijacking Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
NetDynamics is an application server platform designed to provide a comprehensive solution for enterprise level portal applications.
When a user attempts to authenticate to NetDynamics, they are given two values, labeled as SPIDERSESSION and uniqueValue within the generated HTML.
When a subsequent user successfully authenticates, there is a window of time of up to 15 seconds in which these previously generated session values are still valid. Within this window, a malicious user may execute an arbitrary command as the recently auhenticated user.
This is accomplished by using the previously given SPIDERSESSION and uniqueValue numbers, in a request of the following form:
http://victim/cgi-bin/ndcgi.exe/[command>mapping]/[command]?SPIDERSESSION=[...]&uniqueValue=XXXXXXXXXXXXX
An attacker with knowledge of the NetDynamics command structure may be able to hijack the authenticated user account, gaining full control over it.
If NetDynamics has been configured to allow multiple logins from any domain, the valid user will not be alerted that this has occured. This setting is enabled by default.
It is possible that earlier versions of NetDynamics are also vulnerable.
Affected Products:
- Sun NetDynamics 4.0.0
- Sun NetDynamics 4.1.0
- Sun NetDynamics 4.1.2
- Sun NetDynamics 4.1.3
- Sun NetDynamics 5.0.0
