Description

IPCalc contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the REQUEST_URI parameter upon submission to the CGI. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.

Classification

Location: Remote / Network Access
Attack Type: Input Manipulation
Impact: Loss of Integrity
Solution: Upgrade
Exploit: Exploit Private
Disclosure: Vendor Verified
OSVDB: Web Related

Technical

The value of the URL requested is used in within the web pages returned by the
IPCalc CGI wrapper script, in its unsantised form:

$ grep -n actionurl ipcalc
45:$actionurl = $ENV{'REQUEST_URI'};
46:$actionurl =~ s/&/&/g;
284:<form action="$actionurl" method="get" name="form" id="form">

Potential intruders could use this to execute malicious code on visitors
computers.

Solution

Upgrade to version 0.41 or higher, as it has been reported to fix this vulnerability. An upgrade is required as there are no known workarounds.
