Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> [oracle-l] Re: Oracle HTTP Server Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabil lity
How many people actually run the HTTP server which comes with the database? Isn't that pleading for someone to commit mischief. It was too long ago that an SSL problem was announced also dealing with the HTTP server. The attack vector employs iSQL is that only available through the "database" HTTP server or can it be run via iAS.

1) Introduction
Apache is the most common unix server in the world. It is strong and safe. Oracle HTTP Server is a modified, custom apache server that was created by apache for oracle.
The Vulnerabillity is Cross Site Scripting. If an attacker will request
the
following
url from the server: http://<host>/isqlplus?action=logon&username=sdfds%22%3e%3cscript%3ealert('X
SS')%3c/script%3e\&password=dsfsd%3cscript%3ealert('XSS')%3c/script%3e
Or
http://<host>/isqlplus?action=<script>alert('XSS')</script>
XSS appears and the server allows an attacker to inject & execute scripts.
In the words of securityfocus.com :
If all of these circumstances are met, an attacker may be able to exploit this issue via a malicious link containing arbitrary HTML and script code as part of the hostname. When the malicious link is clicked by an unsuspecting user, the attacker-supplied HTML and script code will be executed by their web client. This will occur because the server will echo back the malicious hostname supplied in the client's request, without sufficiently escaping HTML and script code.
Attacks of this nature may make it possible for attackers to manipulate
web
content or to
steal cookie-based authentication credentials. It may be possible to take arbitrary actions as the victim user.
http://<host>/isqlplus?action=logon&username=sdfds%22%3e%3cscript%3ealert('X SS')%3c/script%3e\&password=dsfsd%3cscript%3ealert('XSS')%3c/script%3e http://<host>/isqlplus?action=<script>alert('XSS')</script>
