Rule:
--
Sid:
2196
--
Summary:
This event is generated when an attempt is made to access catgy.cgi on an internal web server. This may indicate an attempt to exploit a cross-site scripting vulnerability in Aktivate e-commerce software.
--
Impact:
Arbitrary code execution, possible session hijack.
--
Detailed Information:
Aktivate 1.03 is an e-commerce application for use on Linux and other UNIX-based operating systems. An attacker can craft a URL with malicious code in the "desc" command's argument that passes the commands to catgy.cgi. If a legitimate user activates the URL, malicious code may be executed on the client computer.
--
Affected Systems:
Systems running Aktivate 1.03.
--
Attack Scenarios:
An attacker may craft a URL that, when activated by a legitimate user, obtains the user's session cookie, thereby allowing the attacker to pose as the user for the duration of the session.
--
Ease of Attack:
Simple. A proof of concept exists.
--
False Positives:
If a legitimate remote user accesses catgy.cgi, this rule may generate an event.
--
False Negatives:
None known.
--
Corrective Action:
It is not known if this vulnerability has been fixed. Contact the vendor, Allen & Keul Web Solutions (http://www.allen-keul.net) for more information.
