TITLE

Siemens SIMATIC WinCC Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in WebNavigator in Siemens WinCC 7.0 SP3 and earlier, as used in SIMATIC PCS7 and other products, allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a (1) GET parameter, (2) POST parameter, or (3) Referer HTTP header. Siemens SIMATIC PCS7 And used in other products Siemens WinCC of WebNavigator Contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability.By any third party, any Web Script or HTML May be inserted. (1) GET Parameters (2) POST Parameters (3) Referer HTTP header. A cross-site request forgery vulnerability exists in Siemens SIMATIC WinCC that allows an attacker to build a malicious web page, trick the user into parsing, and perform malicious actions in the target user context. Siemens SIMATIC is an automation software in a single engineering environment. Part of the input passed to the WebNavigator component lacks filtering before returning to the user, and can be exploited for cross-site scripting attacks to obtain sensitive information or hijack user sessions. Siemens SIMATIC WinCC is prone to information-disclosure, SQL-injection, directory-traversal, and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. The attacker may exploit the information-disclosure issue and directory-traversal issues to gain access to sensitive information that may lead to further attacks. The attacker may exploit the SQL-injection issue to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database. An attacker may leverage the cross-site scripting issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks. Siemens SIMATIC WinCC 7.0 SP3 and prior versions are vulnerable. WinCC flexible is a human-machine interface used in some machine or process applications. The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing proper validity checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to perform certain unspecified actions when a logged-in administrative user visits a specially crafted web page. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The final version of the CSI 6.0 has been released.

This can be exploited to read arbitrary files via directory traversal sequences. 3) Certain input passed via SOAP messages to the WebNavigator component is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code. 4) An error within the ActiveX control can be exploited to disclose the username and password of an authenticated user.
