Product & Service Introduction:
===============================
The Barracuda Web Security Service is a cloud-based web filtering service ideal for \
organizations with users in multiple locations. With no hardware to install, this powerful \
SaaS web filter quickly and affordably lets administrators safeguard users against aggressive \
malware while centrally managing user access to web content, applications, media, file types \
and more. It even extends content security and management to off-network mobile devices – \
perfect for schools that issue iPads to students, or any organization that relies on mobility.
As an enterprise-grade solution for web security, Barracuda Web Security Service saves \
administrators time otherwise spent disinfecting computers and dealing with data breaches. \
Barracuda Web Security Service's intuitive web UI gives clear visibility into web activity \
which speeds network troubleshooting and policy management. Interactive graphs let \
administrators drill down from high-level overviews of the organization's web activity to \
fine-grained information about users, websites, applications, files, bandwidth and other \
factors effecting performance and user productivity. Reporting is just as convenient and \
granular with no database administration required. Built on a massively scalable worldwide \
multi-tenant architecture that provides advanced web filtering to customers in fifty \
countries, Barracuda Web Security Service delivers the fastest, most reliable web filtering in \
the industry.

Discovery Status:
=================
Published
Affected Product(s):
====================
Barracuda Networks
Product: Web Security Flex 4.1
Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Remote
Severity Level:
===============
Medium
Technical Details & Description:
================================
A persistent input validation vulnerability has been discovered in the official Barracuda \
Networks Security Flex v4.1 Application Web-Application. The bug allows remote attackers to \
inject own malicious script codes in the vulnerable module on the application-side of the \
appliance service.
The persistent vulnerability is located in the vulnerable Domain Alias, LDAP Host and Bind \
DN/Username values of the `Remote Filtering > Authentication
> Add Authentication Server` module. Low privileged user accounts are able to inject via POST \
> method request own malicious script codes to compromise
the appliance web-application service. The attack vector is located on the application-side and \
the request method to inject malicious conext is POST.
The security risk of the persistent vulnerabilities are estimated as medium with a cvss (common \
vulnerability scoring system) count of 4.0. Exploitation of the security issue requires low \
user inter action (view listing) & a registered low privileged web application user account. \
Successful exploitation of the security vulnerability results in session hijacking \
(manager/admin) or stable (persistent) context manipulation.
Request Method(s):
[+] POST
Vulnerable Service(s):
[+] Web Security Flex
Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] Remote Filtering > Authentication > Add Authentication Server > TEST SETTINGS or SAVE + \
Listing!
Vulnerable Parameter(s):
[+] Domain Alias
[+] LDAP Host
[+] Bind DN/Username
Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The persistent web vulnerability in the exception-handling can be exploited by remote attackers \
with low privileged user account and low required user inter action. For security \
demonstration or to reproduce the security vulnerability follow the provided information and \
steps below to continue.

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse and encode of all invalid context \
exception-handling messages values. Disallow to redisplay the insecure input and filter wrong \
exception to prevent execution of persistent codes in the context of the security appliance \
application.
Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the persistent exception-handling validation web vulnerability is \
estimated as medium.
