Kaseya VSA 6.5 Parameter Reflected XSS, Enumeration and Bruteforce Weakness

https://www.osisecurity.com.au/kaseya-parameter-reflected-xss-enumeration-and-bruteforce-weakness.html

Date:
04-Apr-2017

Software:
Kaseya

Affected version:
Kaseya VSA v6.5.0.0.

Vulnerability details:

1. The "forgot password" function at https://[target]/access/logon.asp
reveals whether a username is valid/exists or not, which assists with
brute force attacks. An incorrect username responds with “No record of
this user exists”, where a valid username returns “The system emailed
you a link. Visit it to change your password.”

This makes it much easier to brute force accounts.

2. The password reset URL, such as
https://[target]/access/
resetAccount.asp?id=26756180, is not
significantly complex to prevent brute force attacks. The software
should use a GUID (5.3×10^36 combinations) globally unique value
instead to prevent brute force. The server response permits data
matching to ascertain whether a guessed id value is valid or not.

3. The URL at https://[target]/access/accessRoot.asp?page=logon.asp
contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability. Authentication cookies
may be stolen or malicious HTML or JavaScript etc injected to abuse
the client web browser.

Examples:

https://[target]/access/accessRoot.asp?page=http://www.osisecurity.com.au/
https://[target]/access/accessRoot.asp?page=javascript:alert(document.cookie);/
