Oracle WebCenter information exposure vulnerability
| CENSUS ID: | CENSUS-2014-0001 |
| CVE ID: | CVE-2014-0450 |
| Oracle Tracking #: | S0388414 (CPUApr2014) |
| Affected Products: | Oracle Fusion Middleware (versions 11.1.1.7 and 11.1.1.8) |
| Class: | Information Exposure (CWE-200), Privacy Violation (CWE-359) |
| Remote: | Yes |
| Discovered by: | Alex Zaharis |
| Researched by: | Alex Zaharis, Patroklos Argyroudis |
The Oracle WebCenter portal component in Oracle Fusion Middleware (versions 11.1.1.7 and 11.1.1.8) is vulnerable to an information exposure vulnerability. A malicious user may utilize this vulnerability to gain unauthenticated access to the list of valid usernames of the system, the users’ personal information and files linked to the users’ profiles.
libpurple OTR information leakage
| census ID: | census-2012-0001 |
| CVE ID: | CVE-2012-1257 |
| Affected Products: | libpurple (all versions), libpurple clients with DBUS support (incl. all versions of pidgin), pidgin-otr (all versions) |
| Class: | Information Exposure (CWE-200), Privacy Violation (CWE-359), Information Exposure Through Sent Data (CWE-201) |
| Remote: | No |
| Discovered by: | Dimitris Glynos |
libpurple-based applications broadcast the plaintext of OTR (off-the-record) conversations over DBUS. This makes the plaintext available to other (possibly unrelated) applications executing under the same user. Also, due to a design flaw in libpurple, the user’s choice of not logging OTR plaintext on Pidgin is not communicated over to the third party applications listening on DBUS. This may lead to unintentional (on disk) logging of private messages.
Netvolution referer header SQL injection vulnerability
| CENSUS ID: | CENSUS-2011-0001 |
| CVE ID: | CVE-2011-3340 |
| Affected Products: | Netvolution v2.5.8 (ASP). Other versions may also be vulnerable. |
| Class: | Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command (‘SQL Injection’) (CWE-89) |
| Remote: | Yes |
| Discovered by: | Patroklos Argyroudis |
| Researched and Exploited by: | Dimitris Glynos |
Netvolution v2.5.8 is vulnerable to a blind SQL injection attack in the HTTP “referer” header. A malicious user may utilize this vulnerability to modify content on the vulnerable website, inject malicious javascript code to a visitor’s browser, collect CMS usernames and plaintext passwords and, in some cases, execute commands on the system hosting the database server. This is a critical vulnerability since it does not require authentication and its exploitation may go undetected.
