Multiple XSS vulnerabilities in iTop 1.1.181 and 1.2.0-RC-282

IdentifiersCVE-2011-4275CWE-79· Improper Neutralization of Input…

CVE-2011-4275 is a set of multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in iTop (IT Operations Portal) versions 1.1.181 and 1.2.0-RC-282. The product fails to properly neutralize untrusted input before reflecting or storing it in web pages. Reported attack vectors include crafted company names, crafted database server names, crafted CSV file content, crafted copy-and-paste actions, the auth_user parameter in a suggest_pwd action to UI.php, the c[menu] parameter to UniversalSearch.php, the description parameter in a SearchFormToAdd_document_list action to UI.php, the category parameter in an errors action to audit.php, and the suggest_pwd parameter to UI.php. Successful exploitation allows arbitrary script or HTML injection into the application context.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript or inject HTML in a victim user's browser within the security context of the iTop application. Depending on the victim's privileges, this can enable session hijacking, theft of authentication tokens or sensitive application data, unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the victim, interface defacement, and phishing-style content injection. If an administrative user is targeted, the impact can extend to compromise of administrative functions within the portal.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

As an interim measure, restrict access to the iTop interface to trusted users and administrative networks, and reduce exposure of affected endpoints such as UI.php, UniversalSearch.php, and audit.php. Apply strict server-side input validation and context-appropriate output encoding for all user-supplied fields and parameters, especially those explicitly identified in the advisory. Where possible, deploy a Content Security Policy to reduce script execution impact, and monitor for suspicious input in company names, server names, CSV imports, and the listed HTTP parameters. Stored content should be audited for malicious payloads and cleaned.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade iTop to a version that fixes CVE-2011-4275. Because the vulnerable versions are identified as 1.1.181 and 1.2.0-RC-282, remediation should include moving to a later vendor-supported release in which input validation and output encoding have been corrected for the affected fields, file import paths, and request parameters. Review and sanitize existing stored data such as company names, database server names, and imported CSV content to remove previously injected payloads.
