XSS, Reflected Cross Site Scripting, CWE-79, CAPEC-86, DORK, GHDB, discussions.apple.com

Reflected cross-site scripting vulnerabilities arise when data is copied from a request and echoed into the application's immediate response in an unsafe way. An attacker can use the vulnerability to construct a request which, if issued by another application user, will cause JavaScript code supplied by the attacker to execute within the user's browser in the context of that user's session with the application.

The attacker-supplied code can perform a wide variety of actions, such as stealing the victim's session token or login credentials, performing arbitrary actions on the victim's behalf, and logging their keystrokes.

Users can be induced to issue the attacker's crafted request in various ways. For example, the attacker can send a victim a link containing a malicious URL in an email or instant message. They can submit the link to popular web sites that allow content authoring, for example in blog comments. And they can create an innocuous looking web site which causes anyone viewing it to make arbitrary cross-domain requests to the vulnerable application (using either the GET or the POST method).

The security impact of cross-site scripting vulnerabilities is dependent upon the nature of the vulnerable application, the kinds of data and functionality which it contains, and the other applications which belong to the same domain and organisation. If the application is used only to display non-sensitive public content, with no authentication or access control functionality, then a cross-site scripting flaw may be considered low risk. However, if the same application resides on a domain which can access cookies for other more security-critical applications, then the vulnerability could be used to attack those other applications, and so may be considered high risk. Similarly, if the organisation which owns the application is a likely target for phishing attacks, then the vulnerability could be leveraged to lend credibility to such attacks, by injecting Trojan functionality into the vulnerable application, and exploiting users' trust in the organisation in order to capture credentials for other applications which it owns. In many kinds of application, such as those providing online banking functionality, cross-site scripting should always be considered high risk.

Remediation background

In most situations where user-controllable data is copied into application responses, cross-site scripting attacks can be prevented using two layers of defences:

Input should be validated as strictly as possible on arrival, given the kind of content which it is expected to contain. For example, personal names should consist of alphabetical and a small range of typographical characters, and be relatively short; a year of birth should consist of exactly four numerals; email addresses should match a well-defined regular expression. Input which fails the validation should be rejected, not sanitised.
User input should be HTML-encoded at any point where it is copied into application responses. All HTML metacharacters, including < > " ' and =, should be replaced with the corresponding HTML entities (< > etc).

In cases where the application's functionality allows users to author content using a restricted subset of HTML tags and attributes (for example, blog comments which allow limited formatting and linking), it is necessary to parse the supplied HTML to validate that it does not use any dangerous syntax; this is a non-trivial task.

Summary

Severity:	High
Confidence:	Certain
Host:	https://discussions.apple.com
Path:	/community/ipad/ipad_in_the_enterprise

Issue detail

The value of REST URL parameter 2 is copied into the value of an HTML tag attribute which is encapsulated in double quotation marks. The payload c261f"><ScRiPt>alert(1)</ScRiPt>109ba28d678 was submitted in the REST URL parameter 2. This input was echoed unmodified in the application's response.

This proof-of-concept attack demonstrates that it is possible to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the application's response.

The application attempts to block certain expressions that are often used in XSS attacks but this can be circumvented by varying the case of the blocked expressions - for example, by submitting "ScRiPt" instead of "script".

Remediation detail

Blacklist-based filters designed to block known bad inputs are usually inadequate and should be replaced with more effective input and output validation.

Issue detail

The value of REST URL parameter 2 is copied into a JavaScript string which is encapsulated in double quotation marks. The payload f6018"%3bd766c60b2b2 was submitted in the REST URL parameter 2. This input was echoed as f6018";d766c60b2b2 in the application's response.

Remediation detail

Echoing user-controllable data within a script context is inherently dangerous and can make XSS attacks difficult to prevent. If at all possible, the application should avoid echoing user data within this context.

2. SSL cookie without secure flag set previous next

Summary

Severity:	Medium
Confidence:	Firm
Host:	https://discussions.apple.com
Path:	/

Issue detail

The following cookies were issued by the application and do not have the secure flag set:

JSESSIONID=E85C6AACD9DC04B09E1EB7A30511CB1D.; Path=/
jive.server.info="serverName=discussions.apple.com:serverPort=443:contextPath=:localName=sgaurwa148p.hosted.jiveland.com:localPort=9200:localAddr=127.0.0.1"; Version=1; Path=/
BIGipServerPool_228=2618853642.20480.0000; path=/

The highlighted cookie appears to contain a session token, which may increase the risk associated with this issue. You should review the contents of the cookies to determine their function.

Issue background

If the secure flag is set on a cookie, then browsers will not submit the cookie in any requests that use an unencrypted HTTP connection, thereby preventing the cookie from being trivially intercepted by an attacker monitoring network traffic. If the secure flag is not set, then the cookie will be transmitted in clear-text if the user visits any HTTP URLs within the cookie's scope. An attacker may be able to induce this event by feeding a user suitable links, either directly or via another web site. Even if the domain which issued the cookie does not host any content that is accessed over HTTP, an attacker may be able to use links of the form http://example.com:443/ to perform the same attack.

Issue remediation

The secure flag should be set on all cookies that are used for transmitting sensitive data when accessing content over HTTPS. If cookies are used to transmit session tokens, then areas of the application that are accessed over HTTPS should employ their own session handling mechanism, and the session tokens used should never be transmitted over unencrypted communications.

3. Cookie without HttpOnly flag set previous next

Summary

Severity:	Low
Confidence:	Firm
Host:	https://discussions.apple.com
Path:	/

Issue detail

The following cookies were issued by the application and do not have the HttpOnly flag set:

JSESSIONID=E85C6AACD9DC04B09E1EB7A30511CB1D.; Path=/
jive.server.info="serverName=discussions.apple.com:serverPort=443:contextPath=:localName=sgaurwa148p.hosted.jiveland.com:localPort=9200:localAddr=127.0.0.1"; Version=1; Path=/
BIGipServerPool_228=2618853642.20480.0000; path=/

The highlighted cookie appears to contain a session token, which may increase the risk associated with this issue. You should review the contents of the cookies to determine their function.

Issue background

If the HttpOnly attribute is set on a cookie, then the cookie's value cannot be read or set by client-side JavaScript. This measure can prevent certain client-side attacks, such as cross-site scripting, from trivially capturing the cookie's value via an injected script.

Issue remediation

There is usually no good reason not to set the HttpOnly flag on all cookies. Unless you specifically require legitimate client-side scripts within your application to read or set a cookie's value, you should set the HttpOnly flag by including this attribute within the relevant Set-cookie directive.

You should be aware that the restrictions imposed by the HttpOnly flag can potentially be circumvented in some circumstances, and that numerous other serious attacks can be delivered by client-side script injection, aside from simple cookie stealing.

4. Source code disclosure previous next
There are 5 instances of this issue:

/4.5.5/resources/scripts/gen/1afb34697ee836b7126389d088951336.js
/4.5.5/resources/scripts/gen/d8cb4c093dd419faa56b117c0e67a20a.js
/community/ipad/ipad_in_the_enterprise
/community/ipad/using_ipad
/index.jspa

Issue background

Server-side source code may contain sensitive information which can help an attacker formulate attacks against the application.

Issue remediation

Server-side source code is normally disclosed to clients as a result of typographical errors in scripts or because of misconfiguration, such as failing to grant executable permissions to a script or directory. You should review the cause of the code disclosure and prevent it from happening.

5. Cross-domain script include previous next
There are 4 instances of this issue:

/community/ipad/ipad_in_the_enterprise
/community/ipad/using_ipad
/index.jspa
/message/15630329

Issue background

When an application includes a script from an external domain, this script is executed by the browser within the security context of the invoking application. The script can therefore do anything that the application's own scripts can do, such as accessing application data and performing actions within the context of the current user.

If you include a script from an external domain, then you are trusting that domain with the data and functionality of your application, and you are trusting the domain's own security to prevent an attacker from modifying the script to perform malicious actions within your application.

Issue remediation

Scripts should not be included from untrusted domains. If you have a requirement which a third-party script appears to fulfil, then you should ideally copy the contents of that script onto your own domain and include it from there. If that is not possible (e.g. for licensing reasons) then you should consider reimplementing the script's functionality within your own code.

6. Cacheable HTTPS response previous next
There are 4 instances of this issue:

/__services/v2/rest/places/COMMUNITY
/static/apple/tutorial/account.html
/static/apple/tutorial/ask.html
/static/apple/tutorial/index.html

Issue description

Unless directed otherwise, browsers may store a local cached copy of content received from web servers. Some browsers, including Internet Explorer, cache content accessed via HTTPS. If sensitive information in application responses is stored in the local cache, then this may be retrieved by other users who have access to the same computer at a future time.

Issue remediation

The application should return caching directives instructing browsers not to store local copies of any sensitive data. Often, this can be achieved by configuring the web server to prevent caching for relevant paths within the web root. Alternatively, most web development platforms allow you to control the server's caching directives from within individual scripts. Ideally, the web server should return the following HTTP headers in all responses containing sensitive content:

Cache-control: no-store
Pragma: no-cache

7. Multiple content types specified previous next

Summary

Severity:	Information
Confidence:	Certain
Host:	https://discussions.apple.com
Path:	/4.5.5/resources/scripts/gen/ba64ae849f73b7da7f58bf1d6decd077.js

Issue detail

The response contains multiple Content-type statements which are incompatible with one another. The following statements were received:

Content-Type: application/javascript
text/html; charset=UTF-8

Issue background

If a web response specifies multiple incompatible content types, then the browser will usually analyse the response and attempt to determine the actual MIME type of its content. This can have unexpected results, and if the content contains any user-controllable data may lead to cross-site scripting or other client-side vulnerabilities.

In most cases, the presence of multiple incompatible content type statements does not constitute a security flaw, particularly if the response contains static content. You should review the contents of the response and the context in which it appears to determine whether any vulnerability exists.

Issue remediation

For every response containing a message body, the application should include a single Content-type header which correctly and unambiguously states the MIME type of the content in the response body.

8. Content type incorrectly stated previous

Summary

Severity:	Information
Confidence:	Firm
Host:	https://discussions.apple.com
Path:	/view-favorite-activity.jspa

Issue detail

The response contains the following Content-type statement:

Content-Type: text/html;charset=UTF-8

The response states that it contains HTML. However, it actually appears to contain XML.

Issue background

If a web response specifies an incorrect content type, then browsers may process the response in unexpected ways. If the specified content type is a renderable text-based format, then the browser will usually attempt to parse and render the response in that format. If the specified type is an image format, then the browser will usually detect the anomaly and will analyse the actual content and attempt to determine its MIME type. Either case can lead to unexpected results, and if the content contains any user-controllable data may lead to cross-site scripting or other client-side vulnerabilities.

In most cases, the presence of an incorrect content type statement does not constitute a security flaw, particularly if the response contains static content. You should review the contents of the response and the context in which it appears to determine whether any vulnerability exists.

Issue remediation

For every response containing a message body, the application should include a single Content-type header which correctly and unambiguously states the MIME type of the content in the response body.
