    RealOne Player Allows Cross Zone and Domain Access

    Risk: High

    Product: RealOne Player (English only), RealOne Player v2 for Windows (all
    languages), and RealOne Enterprise Desktop (all versions, standalone and
    as configured by RealOne Desktop Manager).

    Product URL: http://www.real.com/realoneplayer.html

    Vendor Contacted: July 1, 2003

    Vendor Released Patch: August 19, 2003

    DigitalPranksters Public Advisory Released: August 27, 2003

    Problem:
    Using a SMIL presentation, an attacker can instruct the RealOne player to
    load a series of URLs. If the attacker specifies a scripting protocol as
    the URL, the script executes in the context of the previous URL. This
    allows the attacker access to everything the previous URL had access to.
    For example, an attacker could load a file on the local machine (C: drive)
    through the SMIL and then load script into the "my computer" zone to read
    content from the local hard disk. It also allows the attack to script web
    sites and steal cookies.
    We feel this is a high risk because there is no prompt before opening a
    SMIL file. This allows the attacker to open the maliciously created file
    without the victim's intent. We have identified several potential attack
    vectors. These include linking to the SMIL over HTTP through link (A
    HREF="malicious.smil"), javascript (document.location="malicious.smil"),
    and email attachments.

    Proof of concept:
    We have created a SMIL file that will read the cookie from
    https://order.real.com/pt/order.html. The cookie will be read 9 seconds
    after the audio has begun.
