Problem:



By issuing a GET request for an invalid Internet domain name http://domain.tldHREF="http://domain.tld">http://domain.tld through the CyberGuard proxy from an internal network to the Internet, it is possible to append a basic syntax for a Cross Site Script...



For instance: Click">HREF="http://domain.tld<script>alert('test')</script>">Click here.



Variants have been tested and it is possible to also include images on the error page.



For instance: it is possible to specify an image with the <img src> tag while also specifying a Cross Site Script - in the same address <script>alert('test')</script>



Should you be 'vulnerable' to the CyberGuard proxy / firewall CSS then you should see a similar page or a variant depending on the configuaration.



As http (through the GUI) can be used as a mechanism whereby access to the the logs can be viewed, it may be possible for a miscreant to, through the usual obfuscation methods (encoding types) trick an administrator of the CyberGuard proxy / firewall into clicking on a Cross Site Script to gain privileged user credentials by specifying the (document.cookie) with a refer to a file where the user credentials can be collected for the purpose of executing by loading the credentials into the Achilies (or similar) proxy.



Note: this method of attack is yet untested.



Possible Solution:



Input validation of code executed on the CyberGuard proxy / firewall.

Configure the Cyberguard proxy / firewall so that management access can only be accessed via SSH.



Solution:



See Vendor for solution.
