EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/37351/info Horde Framework is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. This issue affects versions prior to Horde 3.3.6.

VULNERABILITY ------------------------- Horde 3.3.5 "PHP_SELF" Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability II. BACKGROUND ------------------------- The Horde Application Framework is a modular, general-purpose web application framework written in PHP. It provides an extensive array of classes that are targeted at the common problems and tasks involved in developing modern web applications. III. DESCRIPTION ------------------------- Input passed to 'PHP_SELF' variable is not properly filtered before being returned to the user. This can be explotied to inject arbitrary HTML or to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site. In order to successfully exploit this vulnerability the targeted user has to be logged as an administrator. horde-3.3.5/admin/cmdshell.php:46:<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="post"> horde-3.3.5/admin/sqlshell.php:29:<form name="sqlshell" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="post"> horde-3.3.5/admin/phpshell.php:42:<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="post"> In order to filter the "PHP_SELF" variable, the htmlspecialchars function has to be used, like in 'horde-3.3.5/templates/shares/edit.inc' file: horde-3.3.5/templates/shares/edit.inc:1:<form name="edit" method="post" action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) ?>"> IV. PROOF OF CONCEPT ------------------------- This PoC will show an alert with the text "8" http://site/horde-3.3.5/admin/phpshell.php/%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%288%29;%3C/script%3E%3Cform%20/?Horde=<sessid> http://site/horde-3.3.5/admin/cmdshell.php/%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%288%29;%3C/script%3E%3Cform%20/?Horde=<sessid> http://site/horde-3.3.5/admin/sqlshell.php/%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%288%29;%3C/script%3E%3Cform%20/?Horde=<sessid> V. BUSINESS IMPACT ------------------------- Is possible to execute arbitrary HTML or script code in a targeted user's browser. Only works with administration sessions. VI. SYSTEMS AFFECTED ------------------------- Horde 3.3.5 is vulnerable, others may be affected. VII. SOLUTION ------------------------- Upgrade to version 3.3.6 VIII. REFERENCES ------------------------- http://www.horde.org http://lists.horde.org/archives/announce/2009/000529.html http://www.isecauditors.com IX.
