Description

MySource Matrix 3.8 and MySource 2.x, allow remote attackers to use the application as an HTTP proxy server via the 'sq_remote_page_url' or base64 encoded 'sq_content_src' parameter to access arbitrary sites with the server's IP address and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Classification

Location: Remote / Network Access
Attack Type: Information Disclosure, Input Manipulation
Impact: Loss of Integrity
Solution: Upgrade
Exploit: Exploit Public
Disclosure: OSVDB Verified, Vendor Verified

Technical

Note: The vendor does not consider this a vulnerability. In versions 3.8 or later, the function name was changed and the URL is Base64 encoded as a method of obscuring it.

Solution

The vendor has released new functionality which whitelists accepted Base64 encoded URLs, so that 3rd party domains cannot be used unless explicitly permitted.
