Vigil@nce - Cisco Secure Access Control System: external XML entity injection

April 2017 by Vigil@nce

This bulletin was written by Vigil@nce : https://vigilance.fr/offer

SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY

An authenticated attacker can transmit malicious XML data to Cisco
Secure Access Control System, in order to read a file, scan sites,
or trigger a denial of service.

 Impacted products: Secure ACS.
 Severity: 2/4.
 Creation date: 16/02/2017.
 Revision date: 17/02/2017.

DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY

XML data can contain external entities (DTD):

!ENTITY name SYSTEM "file">

!ENTITY name SYSTEM "http://server/file">

A program which reads these XML data can replace these entities by
data coming from the indicated file. When the program uses XML
data coming from an untrusted source, this behavior leads to:
 content disclosure from files of the server
 private web site scan
 a denial of service by opening a blocking file

This feature must be disabled to process XML data coming from an
untrusted source.

However, the Cisco Secure Access Control System parser allows
external entities.

An authenticated attacker can therefore transmit malicious XML
data to Cisco Secure Access Control System, in order to read a
file, scan sites, or trigger a denial of service.
