TITLE

SonicWALL Pro 2040 Used in SonicWALL SonicOS Enhanced Vulnerable to cross-site scripting

DESCRIPTION

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in SonicWALL SonicOS Enhanced before 4.0.1.1, as used in SonicWALL Pro 2040 and TZ 180 and 190, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML into arbitrary web sites via a URL to a site that is blocked based on content filtering, which is not properly handled in the CFS block page, aka "universal website hijacking.". This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute a script injection attack on arbitrary sites through vulnerable installations of SonicWALL. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious web page or open a malicious web link.The specific flaw exists in the default error page displayed when a user requests access to a web site that is blocked based on the devices content-filtering rules. Insufficient sanity checks allow an attacker to craft a URL that will trigger an error and simultaneously inject a malicious script. As the browser is unable to differentiate between content delivered from the original top level site requested and the inline device, the script injection occurs under the context of the target domain. This can result in various further compromise. SonicWALL Content Filtering is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input when displaying URI address data in a blocked-site error page. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of an arbitrary site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. Versions prior to SonicWALL Content Filtering on SonicOS Enhanced 4.0.1.1 are vulnerable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you need accurate and reliable IDS / IPS / AV detection rules?
