Vulnerabilities

  • CVE reference: CVE-2022-31469open in new window
  • Internal reference: OXUIB-1654
  • CWE: CWE-80 (Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags in a Web Page (Basic XSS))
  • Discovery date: 2022-05-23

The detection mechanism for "deep links" in E-Mail (e.g. pointing to OX Drive) allows to inject references to arbitrary fake applications. This can be used to request unexpected content, potentially including script code, when those links are used.

Threats

Impact

Malicious script code can be executed within the victims context. This can lead to session hijacking or triggering unwanted actions via the web interface (e.g. redirecting to a third-party site). To exploit this an attacker would require the victim to follow a hyperlink.

Exploit status

No publicly available exploits are known.

Remediation

Vendor fix (2022-08-02)
For products
  • OX App Suite frontend 7.10.5-rev37
  • OX App Suite frontend 7.10.6-rev16

Please deploy the provided updates and patch releases. We improved deep-link validation to avoid malicious use.

CVE-2022-37307: XSS sanitization bypass for HTML snippets

  • CVE reference: CVE-2022-37307open in new window
  • Internal reference: OXUIB-1678
  • CWE: CWE-80 (Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags in a Web Page (Basic XSS))
  • Discovery date: 2022-05-30

Certain content like E-Mail signatures are stored using the "snippets" mechanism. This mechanism contains a weakness that allows to inject seemingly benign HTML content, like XHTML CDATA constructs, that will be sanitized to malicious code. Once such code is in place it can be used for persistent access to the users account.

Threats

Impact

Malicious script code can be executed within the victims context. This can lead to session hijacking or triggering unwanted actions via the web interface (e.g. redirecting to a third-party site). To exploit this an attacker would require access to the same OX App Suite instance or temporary access to the users account.

Exploit status

No publicly available exploits are known.

Remediation

Vendor fix (2024-01-18)
For products
  • OX App Suite frontend 7.10.5-rev37
  • OX App Suite frontend 7.10.6-rev16
  • OX App Suite frontend 8.3

Please deploy the provided updates and patch releases. We improved the sanitizing algorithm to deal with disguised code.

CVE-2022-37308: XSS with print templates when using plain-text mail

  • CVE reference: CVE-2022-37308open in new window
  • Internal reference: OXUIB-1731
  • CWE: CWE-80 (Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags in a Web Page (Basic XSS))
  • Discovery date: 2022-06-22

Plain-text mail that contains HTML code can be used to inject script code when printing E-Mail.

Threats

Impact

Malicious script code can be executed within the victims context. This can lead to session hijacking or triggering unwanted actions via the web interface (e.g. redirecting to a third-party site). To exploit this an attacker would need to make the victim print a malicious E-Mail.

Exploit status

No publicly available exploits are known.

CVE-2022-37309: XSS at address picker when not using "fullname"

  • CVE reference: CVE-2022-37309open in new window
  • Internal reference: OXUIB-1732
  • CWE: CWE-80 (Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags in a Web Page (Basic XSS))
  • Discovery date: 2022-06-22

Contacts that do not contain a name but only a e-mail address can be used to inject script code to the "contact picker" component, commonly used to select contacts as recipients or participants.

CVE-2022-37310: XSS using "capabilities" evaluation and checks

  • CVE reference: CVE-2022-37310open in new window
  • Internal reference: OXUIB-1785
  • CWE: CWE-80 (Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags in a Web Page (Basic XSS))
  • Discovery date: 2022-07-20

The metrics and help modules use parts of the URL to determine capabilities. This mechanism suffers from a weakness that allows attackers to use special characters that register malicious capabilities, which will be executed as script code after login.

Threats

Impact

Server-initiated requests to external resources (e.g. E-Mail accounts, data feeds) can be directed to internal resources that are restricted based on deny-list settings. This can be used to determine "internal" addresses and services, depending on measurement and content of error responses. While no data of such services can be exfiltrated, the risk is a violation of perimeter based security policies.

Exploit status

No publicly available exploits are known.

Threats

Impact

Requests can be abused to consume large amounts of memory and eventually lead to resource exhaustion. Since such requests are highly asymmetric in terms of resource requirements between the client and the server, they can be scaled to such a degree that the system becomes temporarily unresponsive for all users. Those requests do not require authentication.

Exploit status

No publicly available exploits are known.
