Web Service Hijacking in VMWare WebAccess

Published: 2010-03-30 Version: 1.0


Analysis:

Web application developers tend to use reversible hash algorithms like Base64, rot13 for hiding sensitive information in POST data and query string. Scanning this kind of web application with automated tools will be a failure and this kind of vulnerability will not be discovered because current web application scanners are programmed to fuzz.


Check:

Look for all possible encrypted data and their algorithms.
Decrypt data and re-submit with tampered data.
Learn application behavior whether it fullfills your tampered request or not.



Related:

This vulnerability can be logically related to view state tampering of ASP.Net/JSF/JSP where developers mostly store sensitive information in View State data.

Data could be pulled from somewhere round their centralized web severs. Weakness: Jumping out We cannot use  iKat  at first as we do not have access to any keyboard facility. However, the trick is no-brainer. Do long press on any locations and relieve.  You should see the usual Flash context menu like: Touch "Global Settings".  A web browser window will pop up and redirect to the Adobe ...
